How Many Merry Christmases Can Fit In This Card?

 Hello there friends!

It's Monday again, the days are flying by so fast. I've seen that there are some Christmas in July challenges and got some inspiration to make a card myself.

I have used papers from Lemon Craft the Christmas Magic paper pack, where I also cut out some images by hand. The sentiment strip is from Rozzanscrap. I colored the edges with red Distress ink and I have also added some glitter using Diamond Stickles from Ranger, as usual it is not visible in the photo, and a couple of red Enamel Dots. That´s about it, I think.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
