Jingle Bells

 Welcome to Christmas in July at High Hopes! I love getting a head start on Christmas cards although it is sometimes hard to think "winter" in the summer heat and humidity! My first Christmas card of the year is officially made and I chose to use "Carollers", and yes, I did have the jingle bells song going through my head as I put this card together <smile>.

To start my card, I stamped on alcohol marker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and cut out the stamp with an xstitch die. I chose some patterned paper from two different Echo Park pads to create my layers. Before I glued down the piece that runs across the middle of the card, I added some ribbon and added the stamped image with pop dots. Enamel dots, a bow and bell finish off my card.
