Christmas in July

Hi everybody! I have another card to share with you today. I used the sketch by Retro Sketches and the theme at The Paper Players, so here it is.
 
 

The papers and sentiment are SU!, ribbon and button from my stash, I cut out the tree using a die by Hero Arts and Sizzix 3 times and added together to make it 3D and added some star sequins. Pretty easy and I like the result.
I'm also linking this to 'Cas on Sunday'
 
 
Thanks for visiting. Have a blessed weekend!

    I think your "ink stitching" just really makes this card. SU has some of the best sentiment stamps, don't they? Really lovely card. Hope this means you're getting ahead of the Christmas card making game...

    A beautiful card, Loly! I love the mix of patterns and the 3-D tree. The stitching is the perfect touch, as is the button. Thanks for playing with The Paper Players!
