Christmas in July

The challenge at Creative Knockouts is Christmas in July using a image from Polkadoodles and I am using this one santa bicycle our Christmas is in the summer,  so I went for this image it looks more like our Christmas would be

I found a card layout like this idea on Pinterest. What I like about this layout is you can do it any size My black base card is 9 inch by 5&3/4 or 130cm by147cm  The backing paper you can do any size as well  mine is 4 by 5& 1/4 I used double sided paper you then cut it top right to bottom left  then left top to bottom right then you turn two corresponding pieces over then I put the pieces onto a white card  that was slightly bigger than the backing paper. It doesn't have to be double sided paper you could use two or four different papers then you will have  spares to do some more cards

I then printed out my image  and cut it with the postage stamp die distressed the edges with old paper ink, coloured in the image with copics and gave Santa a green bike just to be different. I kindy glitzed all the white bits of his suit but will have to go over it when it has dries properly
