Iloista joulua keskellä heinäkuuta

Tai no eihän me enää missään keskellä heinäkuuta olla, loppua kohti jo mennään. Kesäkelit ovat kuitenkin hellineet vasta niin vähän aikaa, että tuntuu että ainakin keskellä kesää vielä ollaan. :)

Tähän joulukorttiin hain inspiraatiota ennen kaikkea Christmas Card Challenge -blogin kuvahaasteesta. Kuviopaperit ovat DCWV:n The Christmas and Winter 180 Stack -lehtiöstä. Lisukkeena ainoastaan vihreälle kartongille embossattu FinnStamperin "Iloista Joulua" -teksti, jonka stanssasin ympyrästanssilla sekä Sticklesillä kuorrutettu lumihiutale.

Osallistun kortillani seuraaviin haasteisiin:
Christmas Card Challenge #34 "Inspiration photo"
Come and Get It Challenge "Christmas in July"
Papertake Weekly Challenge "It's A Jolly Holiday"

It is Christmas in July at Come and Get It Challenge, super delicious inspiration photo at Christmas Card Challenge, and a jolly holiday at Papertake Weekly Challenge so I just decided to go with the flow and welcome Christmas again here right in the middle of July. Okey, it's not technically speaking middle of July anymore as the month is almost at its end, but since the summer weather has been here only for such a short time it feels like we're at least in the middle of the summer at the moment. So this card was inspired by the above mentioned challenges. The DP is from The Christmas and Winter 180 Stack by DCWV. In addition just a "Merry Christmas" text (in Finnish) stamped and heat embossed on green cardstock and cut with circle die. I added one small snowflake covered with Stickles in the middle of the circle, but didn't want to add any other embellies.

So I participate in the following challenges:
Christmas Card Challenge #34 "Inspiration photo"
Come and Get It Challenge "Christmas in July" 
Papertake Weekly Challenge "It's A Jolly Holiday"
