Twas the Night Before Christmas

I am so glad you stopped by!    

Today I am sharing a Christmas card I created using Heartfelt Creations; Winter's Eve Collection.   I love having an opportunity to create a few Christmas cards early and this collection is perfect.   I can just feel the warmth of the fireplace and the now biting my nose when I step outside!  Talk about fun memories!

Card base is  a top fold card measuring 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches.  The base layer was cut at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches and the designer paper was selected from the Winter's Eve Paper Collection.

The poinsettia's were stamped and cut  using the Sparkling Poinsettia Stamp and die set.

The flowers were assembled and allowed to dry.  Clear Crackle Paint was applied to the petals and sprinkled with frosting powder and heat set.  Yellow Prills were applied to the center for stamen.

The holly berries and and focal image  were stamped with Memento Desert Sand Ink. The berries/leaves and focal image were colored with Copic alcohol ink.  I created my own wallpaper you can see through the window pane.   The color combo was - (Berries, tree trim and rug - R20, R22, R24, R27 R56, Leaves - Leaves and tree - G40, G43, G44, Skin Tones E00, E11, E24, Hair - C3, C4, C5, C7, Dress - B0000, B00, B21,  Christmas Balls - B00, B21, B24, B27,  Star - Y11, YR20, YR23, YR56,  Wall paper - E40, E42, B00).

The window and window shutters were cut from theWindow Fame set.   Die cut the window frame  3 times and adhere  for extra strength.  Clear cardstock was was cut and adhered on the underside of the window frame.

Adhere the flowers and  holly bush with a glue gun.   Darice foam strips were adhered between the focal image and the window frame.  The frame was then adhered to the card with Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.
