I decided to get a jump start on Christmas with my Christmas in July Card. I used the Pre-colored Christmas Cardinal along with some old Bo Bunny papers I had lying around. I don't know how I could have had these beautiful papers and never used them.
The hand stitching was done with matching embroidery floss.

Your secret word on my blog is "The"
