This card was inspired by all of the fun Christmas in July Crafty Challenges going on! I won this adorable stamp set from Gerda Steiner last year and couldn't wait to use it again!! I love these little woodland animals singing around a Christmas tree! I used Christmas paper scraps from a couple of our Lawn Fawn paper packs! I really loved how this card turned out!
