Winter - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Camper Life

Hello! I am sharing a charming winter holidays-themed card featuring the Camper Life die set, part of the Warm Wishes Camper Collection at Spellbinders.

I created the background snow by applying Deco Foil Blanco Transfer Gel through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to dark gray cardstock. In order to cover the entire background (the card is 5 inches wide by 7 inches tall) I stenciled twice. Once dry, I added the panel to a card base.
With the Camper Life die set, I cut and assembled the camper, snowbank, and sentiment from Snowdrift, Brushed Silver, Lagoon, Phone Booth, brown, and silver foil cardstock.
I added the camper assembly, snowbank, and sentiment to the card background and embellished with snowflakes cut with the Holiday Decorations set.

Thanks for dropping by! I hope you are inspired to start crafting with this collection.
