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.


This post may include some affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through the links. As always, this is at no cost to you. Thank you so much for supporting this blog!


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.
