Bloggers Challenge - Christmas in July!


I'm actually cheating a little bit! I made this card for my Retirement Workshop tonight, but it's still Christmasy! I love the Wild Wasabi and River Rock, and will really miss both of these colors.

Stamps: Peaceful Wishes, Flannel Plaid Background

Cardstock: Wild Wasabi, River Rock, Whisper White

Ink: Wild Wasabi, River Rock

Other: Antique Brass Hodgepodge Hardware Kit, River Rock double-stitched grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, sponge dauber
