On Christmas night ...


 Today I have another Christmas card to add to my stash which I'm happy to say is looking good especially with 21 weeks to go.  I am playing along with House Mouse and Friends challenge #246 - Christmas in July, Just Us Girls week 404 - Use something old &/or new, and Simon Says Monday challenge - You've Got the Edge - have your project draw your eye to the edge.
I used a very old House Mouse stamp, and stamped my image three times so I could do a little bit of paper-tolling to add some interest to the card. I coloured my images with Brushos and then fussy cut them out and used foam tape to mount them.  I chose this designer paper so I could cut around some of the berries and cone and slip my panel under to give some interest to the edge. Then I layered onto deep red card and checked paper to match the ribbon on the dp to create a frame. I used a new die to cut a couple of pine cones, coloured them and adhered dark brown card to the back and attached them with a matching bow.  To finish I added some shine to the candle stick with silver gel pen and gold inference powder around the flame.  I am also posting to Watercooler Wednesday challenge WWC129 - All About Christmas and to  Merry Monday - Christmas in July Summer Link-up - as inspiration challenge #246

Merry Monday #246 {The Night Before Christmas}

 Thanks for taking a peek

I had to add this photo which I took by my winder and thought it looked lovely with the sunlight on it.

    Oh Robyn the lucky recipient of this card will be bowled over by the cuteness of this creation. Wow. Love the toll, the paper layers and images all work to give this card a super vintage home spun quality that's missing these days. I love the House Mouse images they never get old! Love it! Thanks for sharing it with us on the Watercooler Wednesday Christmas Challenge this week.

    What a lot of work you've put into this wonderful card, Robyn! The fussy cutting alone would have been daunting. But what a wonderful depth and texture you've achieved as a result. The paper-tole effect is stunning. Love the careful and vivid colouring of those adorable images. Great layout. Wonderful card. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
