I didn't do much in the way of "Christmas in July" this year. Just wasn't feeling it. But I recently purchased a stencil and die set from Simon Says Stamp called Festive Swag. When I saw that it was stencil week at Just Us Girls, I decided to put my new products to use.
I paired the stenciled piece with patterned paper and a pre-printed sentiment from the 49 and Market Evergreen Season collection. I used distress oxide ink in Candied Apple, Lumberjack Plaid, Evergreen Bough, Rustic Wilderness and Pine Needles for the swag. I used the Pinkfresh Studio Postage Edge dies for the two patterned paper layers. Now I have one Christmas card ready to go!
That's it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
I didn't get the July Christmas bug this year either, Rosemary. I'm so far behind! Love this pretty one you've shared with us at JUGs. The colors are terrific!
