The Day Before Xmas.

Hello, crafty bloggers.

I have made another Christmas card featuring The Day Before Xmas.

I think this is Edwin!!!

This is the last Christmas card for this year?

I have made this card is for my beautiful Mum.

 

 

 

 I have made the shaped card with 300gsm white Conqueror card and GoKreate

frilly frames #2.

The papers are Maja Design "It's Christmas Time" from Dies To Die For.

I have placed 16mm white Guipure lace across the bottom. The lace is from The Ribbon Girl.

I stamped The Day before Xmas onto Neenah cardstock with Memento rich cocoa ink and coloured the image with Polychromos pencils.

The arched window die is Marianne Design. I fell in love with the die when I saw

Debbie Dolphin's creation on her blog

I bought the arched window from Grafton Crafts

I have coated the arch window with Snow~Tex from Live & Love Crafts.  

I used the die cuts from the window pane to make the brick wall and inked around the edge of each brick with Tim holtz tea dye distress ink

I have placed a piece of cheesecloth behind the window at the top.

The lovely fence and spruce firs are Doohickey. I inked the edges of the trees and fence with tea dye distress ink and covered them in Snow~Tex.

The white resin dove is from Hobbycraft.

I computer generated the sentiment using Harrington Font 14 in word and inked the edges on both sides with tea dye distress ink I then rolled each end with a knitting needle to make a scroll.

 

 

For the flower arrangement I have used a curly ivory rose and 25mm olive green roses from

 Wild Orchid Crafts. 

White chrysanthemums and white stamens from The Ribbon Girl.

White flower spray, white poppies and pine cones from Live & Love Crafts. My super bloggy friend sent me the pine cones.

I have coated the cones with Snow~Tex.

The foliage in between the arrangement are Cheery Lynn pine branches and Martha Stewart woodland branches.

The deer is Marianne Design. I have inked the edges with tea dye distress ink.

 

 

I added ArtDeco glamour dust to Edwins hat and dotted his cheeks with a

Inkssentials opaque white pen.

I have placed some tiny white rhinestones on the tree and placed a tiny yellow rhinestone to each of the stars.

 

 

 

The card at an angle.
