Happy Saturday everyone!

It’s that time of year again! LucieG’s Christmas in July! Woohoo! For the past few years, I’ve dedicated July to Christmas cardmaking and reaped the benefits in November/December when life always seems to get super busy! I LOVE having a good supply of cards to send to all my friends rather than stress about making them before the posting deadline. Plus I get a chance to use the festive supplies I didn’t get round to using last year… or bought in the after-Christmas sales this year!

Anyway, for Christmas in July Day 1, I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using products kindly sent to me by Penny Black.

I started by creating a night sky by blending various purple distress oxide inks. I then inked up a tree from the Peaceful Woodland set (30-922) and heat embossed it with some rainbow glitter embossing powder – the sparkle is amazing in real life! I extended the lines for the ground using some black stickles and finally added a sentiment from the Jolly Snippets set (30-925).

Thanks for stopping by!

LucieG.
