It's Christmas in July at Catch the Bug Challenge Blog

Bugaboo Stamps is celebrating Christmas in July this week. While it may be difficult to think Christmas when the temps here in Chicago topped 100 degrees for the last few days, creating with the winter holiday in mind kept cool thoughts in my head.
Bugaboo Stamps' Christmas in July  Day 1 Theme is to choose from three movies to create a project.
                                 
I chose "A Charlie Brown Christmas" to inspire me to make my card. While my tree isn't the biggest or fullest tree compared to the others, just like Charlie Brown;s tree, it is decorated with love. I used a Bugaboo image called Merry Christmas Tree. After coloring my tree with Copics, I photographed it and printed it directly onto some scenic papers from Ina Prade of Eena's Creations. I used a font called Hotline Bling for my sentiment inside the card, which reads: 
                   "May your Christmas be decorated with love"

Love that tree. Great card composition in combining hand colored with digital. I enjoy doing that too, though I incorporate the uncolored version before I print it.
Thank you for joining the Cute N Crafty challenge.
