Christmas in July!

Hi everyone!! Happy Thursday!!

Here is my card for two challenges, yesterday's Sketch Challenge on SCS, SC236, and today's Wayts To Use It Challenge, WT226, Christmas in July!

For my card, I used three different sets from Taylored Expressions!! The branch is from Branching Out, the ornaments hanging from the branch are from Branching Out Coordinates, and the sentiment is from my favorite sentiment set ever, A Year of Sweet Sentiments!!

I started by stamping the branch and ornaments in Choice Snow White with Memento Tuxedo Black, and colored them all with Copic Markers. The ornaments all got a coat of shine with my Sakura Gelly Roll pen...they really sparkle irl!

All the patterned paper on my card is from Ski Slope DSP from SU! Still my favorite holiday paper!!

I punched out my sentiment with my Word Window Punch and cut off one edge so it lined up with my white border. Each and every layer has some piercing on it, but I just pierced the corners of my focal panel for a bit of interest. ALL the layers are popped up on Foam Tape from Taylored Expressions...I use the 1/16 ", and it is the same height as SU! Dimensionals but WAAAAAAY more cost effective!!!

I must admit, I LOVE the bow/button combo! My SUPER talented friend Joanne Basile always ROCKS this look, so I thought I would give it a go! Thanks for the inspiration girl!!

This was a SUPER fun card to make...and one Christmas card done already...SCORE!!!

Thanks SO much for stopping by!!
