This is my card for CC801. Karen is our hostess and she chose bumble bee (new in-color), pretty peacock and cherry cobbler for her color trio. Dessert Option is Christmas in July.
For my card, I used a new to me poinsettia stamp from Divinity Designs and colored with the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers from Stampin'-Up. Since they don't have a marker for the new bumble bee color I tried to get close to it by using the daffodil delight and pumpkin pie blends.
I also tried a new to me fun fold for this card. It's called a split panel card fold. I like the way this card turned out but it was a bit of a problem getting a good photo of it. Go figure!!!
The background plaid paper is from the Stampin'-Up "wrapped in plaid" collection.
My sentiment is stamped in pretty in peacock ink and I added a few peacock rhinestones to complete my card.
Hope you can join us this week for another round of Christmas in July. It's a great way to get started on your 2020 Christmas cards.

Mary, I love this fun fold! I can see why it was challenging to get a good photo, but you succeeded! Great coloring job on the poinsettias; they're beautiful!
