I've been meaning to start Christmas cards early this year, and I finally got my first one done thanks to the Christmas in July theme challenge at The Paper Players this week. I combined it with the always fun sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to get me started.
I used a fun mix of new, new to me, and old to finish this card.
Unfortunately, the detail on the white scallop layer can't really be seen in this picture. I really need to think about purchasing a light tent, or making one myself! As you may be able to kind of sort of tell, I used the new Large Scallop Edgelits with the coordinating Delicate Designs folder.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!
