ETA: This card didn’t post at its scheduled time, but I still wanted to share the card with you :)
Has any one noticed that all of the Christmas supplies are already out at Hobby Lobby? For crying out loud, I love Christmas and they are making me want to drop everything and start decorating hehe!!! My poor family, they don’t know what to expect from me, but little do they know that my Christmas stuff may go up in October :) Thanks goodness Magnolia is having a Christmas in July challenge over at the Magnolia-licious Highlites site, I posted this card. This frame seemed the perfect place to perch for #311 Tilda in Winter Stockings and the frame is Spellbinders Poinsettia Frameabilities.

Card Recipe: |
I backed up the frame with a circle cut with a new tool I have – a Martha Stewart circle cutter. It will cut a circle up to a 5.5" diameter. I typically use Spellbinders for the smaller circles and found this tool to come in handy for the larger ones. I would rarely do one over 6" in diameter, so this tool is hanging close by. I have other circle cutters but can I say that I’m circle challenged? For the Poinsettia Frameabilities, I did the reverse stencil technique using chalk ink and came out with a fairly nice opaque coverage for a one color reverse of the frame. Not familiar with reverse stencil? I cover it in previous posts HERE. Tilda is colored with Copics and yes, the new lighter colors are a dream; you can get them HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!
very sweet – love it!

Never amazes me that each year the Christmas Decorations come out earlier and earlier! At some point I am sure we will see them year round! If we had a house big enough we could have a room for each holiday and just leave it decorated. Then whatever mood you were in, you could just go sit in that room!!
Your card is absolutely beautful for little miss magnolia!!
Oh, beautiful cards.
Salute, lengow

You simply amaze me Becca. How do you come up with such magic designs all the time. Your work is so neat and clean. Long to be half as good as you. Carnt wait until I can get my crafty fingers on the new shades of Copics over here in the UK.
Good evening, Becca- hope you had a good time in Florida – I am really envious. Your card is so pretty. I bought this MS circle cutter from Michaels when I was in Florida on holiday a couple of years ago and have never used it, so thank you for the inspiration and my renewed interest in this tool :)
How beautiful! Thank you for sharing your lovely work. She makes me smile!
