I'm here to share some inspiration for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This time our theme is Christmas in July and here's my second take:







I started by making my cardbase and then cover the front with a panel diecut from  I inked the edges to create some dimension and depth. I added some diecut 

I then stamped, colored and diecut my images and added them to my card using foam adhesive.  I also diecut a banner which I stamped with my sentiment and added to the top center of the card.
