Christmas in July
Greetings! I hope your Tuesday is going well. I really vacillated on the title for this post as I am having a hard time wrapping my head around creating Christmas Cards, though each year I promise myself that I am going to start mine in July. My card today is for the current challenge at Stampsmith where the theme is Christmas in July. We are to create a Christmas Card using at least one Stampsmith image and summer colors. I decided on my color scheme by using all three of the new Summer Distress Inks recently released by Ranger. The main image of the girl is from the "Won't You be my Honey" Stampsmith stamp plate, which I won earlier this year at the Stampsmith Challenge Blog, and is stamped with Mowed Lawn DI and matted with card stock in green and blue. The snowflakes by Studio G were stamped with Salty Ocean DI onto the card base and then Crackle Glue was applied for shimmer. The sentiment was stamped in Picked Raspberry DI and also shimmered up with Crackle Glue. Embellishments include rhinestone stickers, upcycled green satin ribbon and some beautiful snippets of Venetian Lace purchased at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Thanks so much for stopping by. Yvonne

In total agreement. I was sure that making my DT sample would spur me on but no, cannot focus on Christmas as yet.
Lovely card and great to see this beautiful stamp used on a Christmas card.
Thank you for once again being so supportive of TSC. Good Luck with the Prize Draw.

Beautiful work with the new summer distress colors, Yvonne. Your card is sparkling fresh and such an interesting take on a Christmas card. I think it's going to bring the recipient a breath of summer in the dead of winter! The Venise lace looks gorgeous on it! Thanks for joining in our Sunday Share this time around!
