Christmas in July


Made for The Shabby Tea Room's challenge #18 "Christmas in July".  I must admit working on this actually made me feel cooler!  I used markers instead of inks to stamp all of the images and distressed with inks.  All stamps are Hero Arts. 

Supplies: S5247 Flourish Pine, K5256 Winter Pine, LL956 Three Holiday Messages
