Crafting with Cotnob: Christmas in July

It's time for a new challenge at Crafting for all Seasons and this week the theme is 'Christmas in July'. I have made a card using my favourite technique by Jennifer McGuire as part of the Pattern Play class from O nline Card Classes.

The papers are from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Christmas Collection and the tree has been cut using a Die'sire die from Crafter's Companion. My sentiment is a stamp from Creative Expressions.

Whoopsi Daisy

Prize: 2 sheets of images
