Humphrey and Reindeer card - Christmas in July.

How ironic to be sitting her on the hottest day of the year so far, literally melting and posting a Christmas card!
However, it being July and past the half way point in the year, our crafty minds do tend to start looking towards Christmas because we need lots of time to get our mojo going.

So here's a card that I put together using some very traditional Christmas colours. The papers that you see are digital ones from Bearly Mine and of course Humphrey is from Crafters Companion.

It took a little while to colour this one as there are quite a lot of elements and colour changes involved, but it is well worth the effort as the final image is just adorable.

Plus, this colour combination also gave me the opportunity to use some of my "ho ho ho'" ribbon which  I had been 'saving' for some reason…ever since I bought it about three years ago!

So there are a lot of Christmas challenges around this week, and here are a few that I would like to enter:
