Christmas in July

Using Sweet Sketch Wednesday #2-61, I made a Card using The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge July 14, 2015 with a Twist "Christmas in July".  As you can see the colors were all very pastel and reminded me of Easter colors.  You had to select at least three of the five colors but I selected to use them all  My two favorite holidays represented in one card...so what's not better than an East Bunny Christmas Card...a great toddler's 1st Christmas Card.


I found a freebie at the Digi Stamp Boutique, uk "Christmas Bently," just what I wanted.  Printed out Bently, colored with watercolor pencils and fussy-cut.  The Tree was a die cut using Cricut Design Space, the presents were stamped in color and fussy cut.  The flowers on the tree were from left-overs I had from a wedding card. Bunny, Tree and Presents were adhered with 3D Foam Tape. Sentiment stamped on Background cardstock.  On the Sketch I selected not to use the Ribbon and flower down the side of the card because it didn't really need it with the Bunny positioned in that corner.

I love the colors for the Outlawz Challenge. Cute idea to turn it into a Christmas-in-July card using non-traditional colors.

This is adorable! And I love how you did it in pastels rather than Christmas colors! I have a baby's 1st Christmas coming up this year (Madison missed it by 3 days last year) and this gives me a good starting point for her card!

Hey Sue - I like the Herringbone pattern in your background DP - and I agree with you about leaving out the ribbon and flower from the sketch - the bunny fills that spot nicely! Delighted you are sharing your project and creativity with us at Aud Sentiments!
