Christmas Window

Hello, yet again this week!!
I bet you are getting tired of seeing Christmas cards when it is 90 F outside and the humidity is at 99.9% these days. Well, I hate to say it but, I have one more Christmas card to share with you before this week is over. I will try to give you a bit of a break after this one.....maybe, lol. This card turned out very well, in my opinion. I was inspired by a photo that I saw today and I even managed to use some stash I have had for a while but had never opened or inked.
Here is tonight's card:

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long - #21 Inspirational Photo This photo inspired me in many ways. First, I saw the tree. Then, I noticed the colours in the picture; various shades of green, followed by yellow & white. I know there isn't any red in the pic but I thought my card needed it to make the poinsettias work.

Good Evening:
I am back to share another card with you and yes, it is another Christmas card, lol. Almost everyone is doing Christmas in July so it has been an awesome month for getting a head start on my cards :) I even used 2 Cricut cartridges to make this one card.....amazing for me. The colours are unorthodox as far as Christmas cards go but I think I like it anyway. This card is pretty Clean and Simple, I think anyway.
Here is my card:

Front View
