Sweet Holiday Wishes "Christmas in July" Santa's Hat

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #143 "Christmas in July" partnering with with Jingle Belles Challenge "Santa's Hat"

Still feeling the heat of Summer in Arizona I linked HERE again to listen to Christmas Carols. When going through my stash... found two cute reindeers, one with a Santa hat already stamped and cut, some patterned paper with Santa Hats and a coordinating polka-dot paper.  Picked up my Copic Sketch pens and started coloring.  Used the two patterned papers for my background and adhered the deer with 3D thin foam tape.  

Added little embellishments, a stamped swirl star on Coffee Cup die cut, a Christmas Present which was pieced with two design papers and sentiment  printed on the speech bubble die cut in black ink.

Suzanne, your card is simply adorable and so playful! I love how you colored the reindeer and the background paper is so fun too! You used a lot of different elements and brought them together beautifully. I love the idea of listening to Christmas Carols while we make Christmas cards, especially when it's so hot out. It's in the mid 90's here in Florida. Thanks so much for sharing your adorable creation with us over at Christmas BINGO Challenges! We hope to see you next time too!
