Let's Decorate....

The goblins have all gone home and soon we will be getting out the Christmas decorations....and of course, sending out Christmas cards!  I could also mention Christmas shopping, baking, etc...but I won't go there just yet!


My card today uses a very aptly named image, Festive Antlers....one of this year's new Christmas releases from Just Inklined.  Something a wee bit different, and sure to bring a smile or chuckle.  There are no reindeer in my neighbourhood, but I can think of another 4 legged creature that would surely love to help decorate this year!

Once again, I've coloured with copics and used my nestie die...then I've added a bit of stamping and DI to the edges.  The DP is a new acquisition from My Mind's Eye (Lost and Found Christmas), and if you look closely you will see the snowflakes have been punched from the leftovers.  I've added glossy accents and glamour dust to all of the ornaments, but it doesn't show well in the photo, and you may notice that I added gold metallic to the scroll die cut for some added interest.

Last but not least, is a bow and a bit of lace.  I think this is the first time I have actually managed to incorporate lace on a card.  Its always good to try something new....especially when you purchased it months ago! (lol)

Thanks again for visiting, and hopefully you are getting some Christmas cards ready too!

Some fun challenges for my card.....be sure to check them out!
