I just love it when challenges use Christmas in July as their theme. It gets me started on my Christmas cards ..no last minute cards this year....I'm going to be prepared...."grin".
At the Creative Belli Challenge that's exactly what the theme is this time
Christmas in July
Remember you must use some of your old or forgotten stuff. I coloured the ADFD digi called Christmas Presents and used scraps of paper from the past few years, together with some baubles I bought at Michaels on clearance last January. The gray is Basic Gray from SU as well as the matching ribbon. I must admit, I have almost a full package of this paper....time to start using it!
I kept my card pretty CAS. The gorgeous frame is SB floral ovals and the image was cut using the first die in the Grand Nestabalities, ovals set. The card looks much better in RL...sorry but the colours are distored in the photo...the background was sponged with TH Antique linen.
I will be entering in the following challenges:
There She Goes #165 - Christmas in July
Totally Stampalicious - Christmas in July
Make it Monday - AG
Lollipop Crafts #84 - Christmas in July
Hooked on Crafts Challenge #22 - Christmas in July
Dream Valley Challenge #36 - Anything but square
Take care and thanks for taking the time to visit. Hugs, Pat K.
