WELCOME BACK TO BUGABOO'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY EVENT -- DAY 7 -- FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2020

Hello and welcome back to my blog, my friends!  Today is the final day of Bugaboo's Christmas in July event for 2020.  I don't know about you, but I have had a great time sharing a whole bunch of Christmassy Bugaboo goodness with you all!  And with today being Friday (YAY!), another freebie is available for you to grab:



We're also doing a color challenge today, with all the pretty colors in a watermelon.  Here's my card!


I had fun coloring up this little lady.  This image is called Knobby Knees Christmas Sack.  She looks like she is a very good Santa's helper, and we know he needs plenty of help during the Christmas season!
The background is one that I made while I was playing around with my Distress Oxides not too long ago.  I don't know if you'll be able to tell that it is all kinds of shimmery, as I sprayed it with Perfect Pearls mixed with water.  IRL, it is SO PRETTY! I added the image panel, which was cut using a Spellbinders classic circle die, on top of another die cut circle cut from dark red card stock.  I offset the circles to echo the whimsy of the image, and I also cut them even with the inked panel.  As usual, I colored using alcohol markers, and added the Star Dust Stickles to the white parts of her hat, the snowflake, and the polka dots on the one present. 

--CHALLENGES--

Take Care, and God Bless!
