Beautiful Season - Preparing for Christmas in July

Next month I am having a Christmas in July theme in my classes to tie in with my four weeks of giveaways promotion (click here for more information).  The current Merry Monday Challenge sketch was perfect for my featuring my newest Christmas Stamp Set, Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Season.  Techniques this design demonstrates include watercolouring with Stampin' Up!'s Watercolour Wonder Crayons and die cutting around a design so that images can sit 'outside the square' so to speak.

The strip of designer paper comes from the current Letters to Santa Paper Pack and was the inspiration for the colour palette.
