"Very Merry" Christmas in July For The Paper Players #255

Hello Again, Stamping Friends,

Here today with a new card based on the latest sketch challenge over at The Paper Players blog, courtesy of designer, Sandy.   

I loved this sketch because it lends itself to so, so many ideas and products and for me, Christmas immediately came to mind, as did this designer paper.  I really like how it came together and I hope you enjoy it!!

Happy Stampin'!

I loved this designer paper, Merry Moments for this card.  It offered the perfect clean, modern twist I was looking for.

A Few Details:

I wanted the tree to be a clean, simple focus of this Christmas card and I believe the pearl and rhinestone accents are the perfect elegant touch.  The little silver strands in the twine also offer just a hint of glitz.
