Gingerbread Row

I am continuing my Christmas in July with today's card. When I saw the challenge from Inspired By Hamburg #298, I was reminded of visiting the fabulous holiday markets in Germany and one of my favorite holiday treats, lebkuchen. I pulled out some more leftovers from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.

Another Christmas in July

Creative Colour Challenges #150 has some interesting colors this week. They are Pretty in Pink. Early Espresso and Pretty in Peacock. I wasn't quite sure what to do with these colors, I was thinking floral. I remembered a Christmas challenge that wanted wood elements, Christmas Stampaton 2024. So, I pulled out my favorite Ringed with Nature stamp set and put a card together. I also pulled in Jen B's fabulous sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #645.
