A Joyful Christmas
Hello bloggers! I do have to apologize as I missed this one before Christmas because it wasn't in my Festive file! I didn't want not to post it as I think it is quite pretty but I think this is the final Christmas themed card of the year (at least I hope so!) I selected a piece of cobalt blue card for the background. I used the Stitched Hills and Clouds die and cut two rolling hills in white. I used a fine tipped white marker to add the snow to the sky. I cut the Corner Cottage out of tan card and added a darker brown roof, windows and door. I cut a white circle and added to the upper corner and the Santa and sleigh were cut in black and added across the moon. I added the cottage with a white fence, a lamppost and an assortment of trees around it. I cut the A Joyous Christmas in black and glued it to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this card deserves its day on the blog, it is a beautiful Christmas card, and many of us crafters make Christmas cards all through the year, I have already made over 50 of mine. This one I can add to the lit.
Stay safe, healthy, and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. Nice to see a Winter card on the blog again, especially as this sort of weather is being forecast for us in the next few days. What a lovely atmosphere you have created on this one.
Hi Sue, I am so pleased that we got to see this lovely card. The Corner Cottage is one of my favourites and i love the street lamps. Certainly one to remember for later in the year.
Beautiful card Sue, so glad you found it xx
