Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - July Challenge: Christmas in July

Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday  - July challenge, right here on my blog! I'm so glad you stopped by to check out the new theme and hope you'll decide to join in too! There were some wonderful entries last month, so be sure to scroll down to see if your entry made my Top Picks!

For the month of July I selected the theme of...........

Christmas in July.

Remember, the given theme is for your inspiration only and you may link up any of your crafty makes. All entries will be considered for the top picks, whether you followed the optional theme or not.

I kept my card in a CAS style. The image (which includes the frame) is an oldie from PSX. I've only had it for a few years but it was probably released in the 90's, and can only be found on eBay or Etsy.

It's been stamped using Chipped Sapphire ink then colored with my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. but this image didn't really require too much coloring.

I trimmed along the frame and then adhered it to a white card base using foam tape. No extra sentiment was needed here as "Let is snow" is already included. 

I added three die cut snowflakes and then some sticky rhinestones to finish off this card.

Last Month Top Picks

I will continue to add my favorites to the dedicated Pinterest board, but going forward I will once again showcase the top pick's creations with links to their individual blogs, which will be removed at the start of each new month's challenge to remain in compliance with GDPR.

Selecting just three is never easy but something that needs to be done and here they are from last month's theme of Clean and Simple or Anything Goes. They are listed in the order of entry.
