(All stamps are by STAMPlorations)

Yes, it's Christmas in July!  Your eyes are not seeing things.  Most of you know that I love to make Christmas cards and do so all year long.  So it's not surprising to find a Christmas card post here.  I also love taking non Christmas stamps and making them into a Christmas card.  I was looking at fellow Teamate, Shirley's, stamp set, Party Girl and I thought the dress could be made into a festive Mrs. Claus dress.  So, that's what I did.  Now, I wanted to add a cute little Santa hat on her head so before I stamped her head I masked off a section and then hand drew one on, trying to keep it kind of sketchy to match Shirley's original.  Hope that's okay Shirley!  Once it was all stamped I coloured her in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I added some textured snow on her dress to mimic a furry trim.  I had originally done a different background but didn't like how it turned out.  So, I fussy cut the girl out to save her and did a different background.  I stamped the lollipop swirl (Part Mates set, Dee's Artsy Impressions) in red and green and added a strip of gold glitter tape.  I stamped the sentiment (Holiday Sketches: Christmas Flower) in black.  I really like how this turned out.

So, if you want to play along and do some CASEing come on over and visit us HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
