A Little Christmas in July!
Today I have a project for you that was inspired by a couple of online challenges. This week's colour challenge at Dynamic Duos is to use Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green on a project. This is a huge challenge for me, as those are two colours that I rarely pull out. I decided to create a Christmas project for The Friday Mash-up using the sketch from The Paper Players. First, here is the sketch:
...and here is my card:
This card has some old, some new and some current product on it! The Evergreen stamp set , as well as More Merry Messages are carryover sets from last year's Holiday Catalogue. They not in any current catty but are still available to order. If you missed them last year, it's not too late! The DSP in the background is from last year's colour family DSP Stacks. I still have a TON of that stuff kicking around and the stripes were just festive enough for this project. The bronze button is another leftover from last year's Holiday catty...sadly they are no longer available...but keep your eye on the online Clearance Rack...you never know what might show up there ;) The burlap ribbon is a new embellishment available August 1st in the new Holiday Catalogue. I am fast falling in love this that stuff...it adds such wonderful texture to any design! The little star atop the tree was punched with the Merry Minis punch pack, which is yet another Carryover item from last year. Still available to order, this pack of three punches includes a Christmas tree and ornament, in addtion to the star. Call or email to order these and any other Carryover items.
