I chose the MidWinter collection, which I absolutely love the vintage and homey style in these stamps! For the background, I stamped the pine needles randomly in Stazon Green on Shimmery paper, so pretty and adds that snowy feeling! Did shading with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.
Tim's Clock was cut from Grunge paper and then painted white and again with a lighter green, crackled and then coated with Pine Needles stain. Added a little white paint for snow! The tinsel around the clock are actually trimmings from gold and green tinsel sprinkled over glossy accents. The beads/berries were colored with alcohol ink.
The lovely house was stamped on watercolor paper using Coffee Archival (tapping on to avoid the trees) and Stazon Green. Squeezed Lemonade (windows), Barn Door (Chimney), Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky (Sky), Antique Lined and Vintage Photo for shading using the water brush. A layer of Rock Candy Stickles was applied to the ground, roof and chimney top, with a thicker coating on the roof edge!
Hope you enjoyed the little cool down and there is still plenty of time to ink up your AO stamps for the July Monthly Referral Program, so join in fun and a chance to win!

Das ist großartig, Terry.
Und ich finde, es ist die richtige Zeit für Weihnachtskarten.
Wenn es draußen schön heiß ist, mache ich auch immer die ersten Karten :-)
Dann macht es mir am meisten Spaß
Liebe Grüße

Sweet vintage Christmas card. Love the circle from pine. Lovely embellishments too!
A fabulous background and focal image and I love the decorations. I can't imaging Christmas at the moment in this heat, still hot, hot, hot in the 30s but a little breeze today which is quite refreshing. I am sitting out in 10 minute bursts - got to make the most of it.

Stunning card Terry! Love all the details.
This is gorgeous, Terry! I'm afraid Christmas in July is SO wrong, but I will let you all off as Snowy scenes may cool us all down a bit here in the UK at the moment!

I find it really hard to get in the Christmas mood in July and have no idea how you've managed it Terry, but manage you have and this is a fabulous idea for a card. Love it. Hugs, from one 'young at heart' to another, Jenny x
Wow what an awesome Christmas card! So clever to make your own tinsel, it really looks fabulous, and I love the Rock candy stickles thanks for giving the name too! Brilliant to use the clock on this too. You always have the best ideas Terry! ~Diane

Ohh Terry, what a wonderful Christmas card in July! Love the little Christmas lights! I can use a little bit of cold here. It's so really hot here. Hugs, Sandra
Beautiful - I love every jot and tittle about your card. You are absolutely right - it is never to early to start on Christmas cards.
Sandy
Such a beautiful Christmas card and with grand embellishment. It is time to be working on Christmas cards.
I must admit, I really like this card and I plead guilty - I am also on pain medication. A little ditsy but that's okay!
