Christmas In July...

Here is one of the first of many Christmas cards, that I will post over the last few days of July. There's only 153 days left until Christmas...so I have already begun creating my Christmas cards for my loved ones and friends....

As you can see I used a technique, I like to call "Blacked Out". I'm sure it has some technical name, but I call it that. It simply is where you put black cardstock behind just about every layer. Many times there is some additional detail completed with a white gel pen. I did not use the gel pen on this card however you will see one later in the week with that accent.
