Christmas in July? I could be doing with some snow right now - the heat in the UK is unbearable! For my Christmas project, I used a variety of Christmas stamp sets for this winter scene.

I started off by stencilling the top of my card using Christmas Tree Layering Stencil and a lightly inking the sky using Great Outdoors Stencil.

The little houses and trees are from Holly Blessings stamp set and Christmas Scene stamp set (no longer available) I decided to colour the houses brightly - non traditional colours. The little cute snowman is from Snowball Kisses stamp set.

I die-cut cloud borders (from my stash) and used them as mounds of snow, after inking the edges in grey and adding white fine glitter. The Peace & Love text images are from Heartfelt Joy stamp set.
