It's almost Christmas......'Time'

A little pun intended there (lol).   However, time is marching on and the little ones are getting excited....as are the adults, but that is because we are not yet ready!  So, taking a bit of time out and making another card, but this one's a little different with a rather peaceful look.


Using copics to colour, adding stickles for the flower centres and glossy accents for the berries, this lovely image from Just Inklined looks very festive and quite unique.  I wanted to create a frame, and decided on a glossy black cardstock...cutting the centre out and giving it some fancy corners, then adding some silver peel-off trim.  I had already decided on the DP, and just a sentiment, a bit of ribbon and some paper candi to finish it off. 

Supplies used:
Basic Grey paper - Nordic Holiday collection
Spellbinder die - Lacey Ovals
Martha Stewart corner punch -  Eyelet Lace

Thanks so much for dropping by, and if you can't have a relaxing day....hopefully you will have a productive one.   Good luck to all of you that are venturing out to the stores today....you are so much braver than me!
