Here is Gina K Designs July 2025 Monthly Mix Challenge - Christmas In July, below is the challenge inspiration:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I would like to use non-traditional Christmas colors to create this card. I blended blue, pink, purple, and citrus colors of Distress Oxide inks on a white cardstock. Then I run it through Gina K Designs' Tapestry embossing folder. I used white ink pad to lightly wiped over the whole embossed background. I white embossed "peace" and a Christmas tree in the "A" space (from Gina K Designs' Winter Wishes stamp set) on a blue cardstock. I applied the clear shimmer brush pen into the embossed areas to make it shiny. I attached the "peace" on the background to complete the card. Below is another look of the card:

Cardstock: Gina K Designs, Spellbinders

Ink Pads: Distress Oxide inks, Versamark, Stampin' Up

I used Altenew's Zero-Waste Leaf Pattern die to cut out from Altenew's bamboo, parrot, cloudy sky, and misty morning cardstock. I also use the die to cut out from white and gold cardstock.

I die cut "thank you" (from Altenew's Timeless Sentiments die set) from Altenew's Moss cardstock and attached it on the matching vellum die cut. Finish the card by attaching some Altenew's metallic gold gem sparkles on some of the dots. I also used the white gel pen to highlight some of the leaves. Below is another look of the card:
