I sure love me some snowmen, so for CHRISTMAS IN JULY, I used Snowman Joy from Penny Black. I Die cut him 3x and layered each body piece. 

For my background, I stamped snowflakes from TH Mini Weathered Winter Set with Versamark and embossed with HA White Embossing Powder. I then blended Distress Oxides: Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Cracked Pistachio, Faded Jeans and went around the outside with Black Soot. Added some white paint splatters for added texture and then die cut the sentiment from TH Holiday Words die set from Tonic "Silky Sky" Mirror card



I die cut 2 trees from the TH Woodlands set and adhered in between Lawn Fawn's Stitched Borders (Similar to Stitched Trails). Some Glass Bead Gel from Faber Castell added some glittery texture for my "snow". 
Sure hope you've enjoyed my CHRISTMAS IN JULY make, now head on over to Kia's blog and happy Hoppin'!

I love your card! The background, snowflakes, snowman, trees & glitter gel all make the perfect combo. I love the look of the glass bead glitter gel so I bought some but haven’t used it yet, but now I’m going to get it out and use it on my Christmas cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
