Christmas in July!

 Welcome back friends!

Today I'm sharing a card created for the second challenge of the month at the Double D.  

Wow, I can't believe we're halfway through the year already and it's time for "Christmas in July".  This theme seems to show up repeatedly everywhere in July.   Even the local craft store has Christmas items going out on display.  A little too early for me, but I do like to be ahead of the game for cards.

And, that's the challenge theme at the Double D for the next two weeks...
 
Here's a board full of inspiration...lots of festive colors and designs!


There will be creative winners and one lucky prize winner chosen by random draw.
 
Floral Surfaces by Petaloo
 
Traditional red and white always inspires me at Christmas. 

Noel

This A6 card's white, embossed background is matted with red cardstock.  The wreath was cut three times, adhered together for dimension and embellished with crystal glitter.  The velvet bow is fussy cut from a partial cut of the wreath.  The sentiment is also cut three times and adhered together for dimension.  Red jewels complete the design.

I always love a crisp red and white Christmas card and this one is gorgeous! The embossing, layered wreath, and sparkle give it plenty to touch and admire, and I love how you isolated the bow for a little something extra. A beauty, Vicki!

Beautiful! Love all the dimension, especially the twinkle goosebumps in the wreath.
