Christmas In July

For those of you that celebrate Christmas in July, this card is for you. Just a regular looking card right? Well, let me pull the green tab at the top for you and lets see what happens.......
TA DA! Just a nice little twist on a regular card. I have use clear embossed the Merry Christmas greeting, which really gives it a nice touch.

I've used my new favourite tool, the sponge daubers to ink the edges of the card, to give it a distressed look. I've used the same colour ink as the card, but you could also use the Stampin Pastels, if you wanted a softer look. Then again, you could use a brown or black to go for the really distressed look.
This stamp set is another I absolutely love because of its versatility. You can achieve so may different looks with it. I will be making some more Christmas cards this month, so keep you eye out for this set.

EJNOY!
