Good morning! This is Christmas in July week over on the BYSHC blog, and they are celebrating with a week-long linky party. Just make a Christmas, Hannukah, Yuletide, or wintry card and share it for a chance to win a prize.
I wanted to try to create a sepia toned holiday card, so I pulled out the Layered Holly stencils from A Colorful Life Designs. There are two stencils in this set - one with the leaves and one with the berries. I placed the leaves stencil down first over some beige cardstock and lightly brushed some brown ink all over. I removed that stencil and placed the berries stencil down and did a heavier application of brown ink. After I removed the second stencil, I brushed brown ink all around the edges to distress it even more. Then I added the die cut "JOY" and the stamped sentiment to the center of this card.
Come join the fun over on the BYSHC blog! Share your holiday or wintery card in the Linky Party and you might win a prize.

Love the idea of the kraft cardstock. So pretty!
I just love the monochromatic design and this makes the perfect masculine card.
