Christmas in July



I finally got the chance to sit down and stamp this morning.  I decided to play along in today's sketch challenge on SCS and to create a card for this week's High Hopes challenge since I hadn't had a chance to play along yet.  This week's High Hopes challenge is to Christmas in July.  This month's release has lots of adorable holiday themed stamps.  I chose Three Pane Christmas as my image.  My patterned papers are from Basic Grey's Wassail and Figgy Pudding lines and the cardstock is ripe avocado from Papertrey Ink and baja breeze from SU.  I colored my images with copic markers and added some fun flock to Santa's hat and gold stickles to the snowman's poinsettia.

Have a great day!

Niki
