Christmas in July with 3 Crazy Monkeys!

Now onto my project!

For my Christmas in July piece I made a card out of kraft cardstock.  I used a digital stamp from Sherri Baldy's "Besties" collection, and colored it with my Prismacolor colored pencils.  Then I cut out three tags with my silhouette and edged them with gold enamel paint. I also dry brushed the gold enamel onto the green ribbon and sporadically around the colored image.  I distressed the edges of the card with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and then edged it again with the gold enamel paint as well.  Lastly, I added some Christmas rub-ons.
If you came here from Miranda's blog and have gone all the way through this hop, starting at Angela, then you are finished the hop!  If you didn't start at Angela, then, by all means...carry on :)
