Christmas in July - Caardvarks Challenge

This is the card for the Caardvarks challenge. Click here for their blog. The challenge this week is to use a winter theme and is sponsored by Hero Arts.

I used the new Hero Arts Striped Circle cling stamp to represent a Christmas ornament. I stamped it in pink and red and then heat embossed it and cut it out. I found a random Christmas tree stamp (not sure where it is from), stamped it in green, colored and decorated it with stickles and gemstones. Then I attached a ribbon and used 3D dots to adhere it to the background that I sewed. Next came the sentiment. It is another random stamp.

It was hard to think of Christmas when it is 104 outside!
