Good Morning, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and wasnt the weather fabulous, we are getting rather used to this heat and I do hope it will last only time will tell.

DT Images:

And we were lucky enough to be able a choose a image to play with and I chose this one.



Its called "Bitty Christmas Tree Bears" and I have printed them on to white card and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I cut it out with my rotatrim and then mounted it onto a piece of red card. I also used some of the card to cut out the sentiment.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, and the papers I have used are from Echo Park "Very Merry Christmas" paper pad. The first is a white background with snowman on, and the second is a green background with trees and snowflakes on it.
I then placed the mounted image in the middle with the sentiment down the right hand side. The last flourish is the Bell Banner thats been stuck across the top.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope you will go and visit the Cards for Men Challenge Blogspot, and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team  have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Christmas in July" Challenge.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
