Christmas in July! SSSC24

Christmas in July, well that's what I think when July 1st comes around. Jumped in and participated in Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #24. I must admit this was a tuff sketch and my brain hurts trying to come up with something since Sunday and must have gazed at this sketch for hours (really). The trees are embossed applying VersaMark first then by inking Rich Razzelberry and Old Olive. My attempt was trying to get a old vintage Christmas Holiday feel.
