Warm Wishes - Double Trouble Challenge "Christmas in July" Stars/Stripes

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #142 "Christmas in July" partnering with with Jingle Belles Challenge "Stars and/or Stripes" using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #531 with CTMH "Seas & Greetings" paperpack with non-traditional colors.  

It is in the 100's today in Arizona so I was still feeling the heat of summer and was not feeling Christmas until I linked HERE to listen to Christmas Carols. However, as I was going through my stash of patterned papers, "Seas & Greetings" was perfect for my "Christmas in July" requirement.  There was a striped patterned paper and a star (star fish that is) to meet the Jingle Belles requirement "stars and/or stripes". The banner was cut with a tag die, layered and sentiment stamped on banner with black ink.  The Christmas palm tree, beach sign and star fish stickers were adhered with 3D foam tape on the banner for dimension.  




Used the same background patterned papers to border the inside of the card and the photo shows the dimension and layers of the images.  

 

Please stop by and have some fun with our Double Trouble challenge and check out to see what our Team Members and Entrants have created.  Don't forget to check out our collaborating partner at Jingle Belles and see their Design Team members and entrant projects.  Hope to see you there!
