Christmaaaaaaas!

                                                                                                                                                                 

Welcome here and the theme today for my Craft Barn make is Christmas, I love it! Today is a pure and simple card. I used a Tim Holtz Texture Fade and a TH die.


The Vintage Noel was cut out using white felt and another layer in plain paper for a shadow, glittered and slightly offset. The festive garland I embossed onto the red card and then I embossed a piece of white card, coloured and cut out the holly and some pine cones. The holly is lifted with Pinflair Glue Gel and then covered in Diamond glaze. Around the garland I used Copics to deepen and give more dimension.


The team at the Craft Barn Blog have made some really great Advent creations this week, well worth a look if you can spare the time
 I hope you like my card:0) I really enjoyed making it, see you soon, hugs Gay x

Love the card Gay! Gorgeous traditional colours and I really like the way you've used the garland die and you've inspired me to get mine out. The NOEL looks wonderful and I think that die needs to go on my wish list, ;0)

I too hope you are feeling better now.
