Christmas in July?

Yes!  It's Christmas in July here in Bella land, and I have a card to share with you.
I used the Cutesy ornaments for this one, and a LOT of distress inks.  I started by heat embossing the magical background with a glitter EP onto white cardstock.  Next I inked it up with tumbled glass distress ink, I then used peacock feathers and evergreen bough on the outer edges of the panel, leaving the center light. I heat embossed the ornaments with detail silver and inked those with distress inks too. I sprayed everythign with pearl water and let it dry. I then went over all the edges with vintage photo. and covered the ornaments with a thin layer of glossy accents.  I lined the two outside edges of my base card with score tape and added glitter ritz in warm highlight.  I did the same on the sentiment strip that was heat embossed with detailed silver.  I put it all together and added some gems and cord.

That's it from me, till next time.
