Merry Christmas (in July)

I made a Christmas card with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #188. I used MFT's PI-Angel and stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card, colored her with Copics and cut her out and mounted her with foam on MME Christmas Wish DSP.  I also paper-pieced her dress with some DSP from MME Vintage Christmas. The rest of the DSP is also from the same pad.  I used SU Sahara Sand for the mats and the card base is MFT Whip Cream.  I inked the edges of a couple of the DSP panels and also added some faux stitching to the image panel.  I added some Baker's Twine to the long vertical panel and used a SU Scallop Border punch for the edge.  The sentiment is from MFT LJD-Stitched Stockings.

 

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

SWEET SUNDAY--MERRY MONDAY

 

 

 

I made my card using the Sweet Sunday #180 sketch by Karen Giron, although I made an A2 card instead of square.  Also, the challenge for Merry Monday #54 to use a snowman on a Christmas card.

 

I used SU Whisper White and Basic Black CS. The red/white DSP is SU and the green  zig zag is from a DCWV Christmas mat stack.  I stamped the SU cute snowman image (retired) in Mememto Tuxedo Black and did the little bit of coloring with Promarkers.  I tore some CS to make the snowdrifts across the bottom of the image panel and after adhereing them, I curled the edges back with my fingers.  The image panel is mounted with foam dimensionals.  I punched a MS snowflake and added a rhinestone from Michaels.  The scallop border was punched with a SU border punch.
