CHRISTMAS IN JULY

A couple of challenges have gone for the Christmas in July theme - I'm not averse to making Christmas cards any time of the year and it just so happens I just received a retired set from an ex SU Demo today called Merry Mistletoe and was eager to have a play.

I took my inspiration from the As You See It challenge #204  which had quite a detailed brief: Use all the elements shown below!

I started off with some Very Vanilla card stock from SU and stamped the main greetings in Real Red.  The mistletoe was stamped in Pear Pizazz and I added some pearls for the mistletoe berries.  I added some red and white ribbon/twine at the top of the mistletoe.

I then stamped the reindeer and reversed the image so it looks as though they are kissing under the mistletoe.  I used a stitched die cut for the extra sentiment and added some stars.

I'm also adding this into Retro Rubber #114 who are also asking for Christmas Cards.

Just Add Ink are asking for a seasonal card.
