Christmas in July

 Christmas in July - why not? It's exactly half-time, and those celebrating the holiday start preparing for it.

Even though I am not a Christmas person I felt myself encouraged by a few challenges to try my hand at a Christmas card.

First, the challenge in Archiscraps to use several design papers at once. I happened to watch a video on Youtube which showed a very nice mosaic piecing technique. I used four or five different scraps of designer papers that I had kept.

I have quite afew Lost Coast Stamps so why not use them for their  Christmas in July
challenge. Their stamps are quirky, so my card gleaned some quirkiness from the use of their shouting lady stamp. I am never quite sure whether she is angry, frightened or is giving a warning shout.

I left the sentiment open to interpretation.
