Christmas in July

I was playing with the Stone Wash Technique, and decided to play with the black and silver and this is what I came up with.  I white embossed some leafless shrubs on the finished background, put a window sheet over the front and then stamped Dasher with Stazon Ink on the front. A white taffeta ribbon at the top conpleted the card.

This card turned out spectacularly, although I don't usually start my Christmas cards until closer towards the end of August.
