Get Cracking Christmas In July + Giveaway!

Hi everyone! It's been a little while since I've joined Jenn Shurkus for her Get Cracking on Christmas posts - her monthly encouragement to get crackin' on those holiday cards by making a little bit each month, so you're not scrambling in December! Jenn thought it would be fun to make this month a Christmas in July celebration, with giveaways on every post, so I am here to join and have fun!

I pulled out one of my favorite Hero Arts dies for my post - one that I never got around to playing with when it came out last fall! It's called Decorated Winter Branches Window Fancy Die, and it's so whimsical and fun! I die cut it in watercolor paper, and painted it with my Liquid Watercolors.

I also created a background with the Liquid Watercolors on another panel of watercolor paper, combining 

Deep Ocean, Indigo, Purple and Pink. I also added little dots as stars, using a Derwent white paint pen. Once both panels were dry, I popped up the die cut scene, then added a message stamped from the Mountain of Joy set.

I pulled together a fun assortment of winter goodies for my giveaway, so you can get cracking on your own holiday cards! Just leave me a comment by Sunday, July 26 and I'll post a winner the following week here on my blog.

Be sure to visit Jenn Shurkus to see what she created, enter her giveaway, and follow the links to the other artists sharing today!

Happy Christmas in July!
