This week TCP Tuesday Challenge is hosted by Carole, who has a sketch for us to play with. Lots of FUN circles on this sketch!
I was trying to figure out what TCP image to use, when I came across this wreath with cute robins on it from the Elegant Christmas set. The circular shape of the image just called for me to use it; so I thought it was just perfect for a Christmas in July card! After all, it can never be too soon to get started!
I really like the elegant look of this set. I ended up using mostly scraps leftover from last year's Christmas cards. I used some H20 pearlescent watercolor around the wreath to match the shimmer on the pearlescent gold paper and glitter on the green strip of paper. The additional circles were a perfect spot to add the snowflakes and the sentiment:). I also added some red stickles on the wreath and just had fun with this card!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Elegant card, Carol. I like the way you colored the wreath. Great take on the challenge! I have some ancient snowflake punches, and I never think to use them. Thanks for the reminder!
Gorgeous, Carol! You and Julee are making me want to pull out these sets! (See the slideshow tomorrow and you'll see what I mean! :) )
