This is my sample for CC956. Karen is our hostess and she chose cherry cobbler, old olive and pool party for her color trio. Dessert option this month is Christmas in July.
I used the Holiday Door die from CottageCutz for my card and cut in the challenge colors. This will definitely be a one-of-a-kind card (LOL)! It was labor intensive with all the pieces. I ink blended the pool party cardstock to get a deeper shade of blue.
The background designer paper is from the Stampin' Up "tidings of Christmas" collection. My sentiment is also a die from CottageCutz- Christmas Greetings.
I hope you can play along with us this week. Karen has chosen some beautiful traditional Christmas colors for your card making.

Oh, my goodness! What pretty little details you have in this pretty Christmas house - and I suspect - what patience too. I love the addition of the snowy background.

I'm still marveling at all your teeny tiny die cut details on this charming Christmas card, Mary. You really did an outstanding job with this special card.
