Christmas

Yeah I know, I know, its only July but before you know it, Chrimbo-time will be here again.

Over on the Teddy-Bo blog they are having a 'Chjristmas In July' challenge so after someone in a facebook group mentioned it I decided I would have a go. I've not done many Teddy Bo cards before and even less Christmas cards ready for this year (in fact only the 1, well 2 now if you count this 1) so here's my card


Now its not that I'm not a fan of traditional Chrimbo colours, I am, but I normally like to do a lot of various colours of cards and thought this lovely Christmas paper would be great to go along with Teddy Bea in her fairy costume.
Teddy Bea is coloured with pro markers and I don't know if you can see it or not but her wings and star wand have been glammed up with frosted lace stickles.
The paper was from a paper stack that came as a magazine freebie, I believe it might be a Kate Knight paper but not 100%, ribbon from my stash and thank goodness for the trusty bow maker as I am useless at getting nice bows by myself, card candi, and 2 clear stamps used to make the sentiment.
I hope you like my take on Christmas In July

Happy Crafting
