Christmas is coming....a little birdie told me

Good morning everyone!  I'm on a roll with another Christmas card today, this time with another wonderful image from Just Inklined, from the Best of Just Inklined 2012 CD ROM.  Then I'm off to Toronto to take in a show and perhaps do a bit of shopping!


Once again I've coloured with copics, adding liquid applique to the snow and glossy accents to the berries.  For the frame, I've used the Oval Frame die from Nellie Snellen and distress inks.

The papers are from the MME Be Merry collection, but this time it's the 12x12 size with lots of glitter and shine.  The fancy corner uses the a Memory Box die, to which I have added stickles for a bit more sparkle, and the scalloped edging uses a MS punch.

The sentiment is stamped and fussy cut, then attached to coordinating papers and fussy cut again to create a shadow effect.

So, thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a fun day too!

  8. Fabulous card Joyce, but can't think of Christmas when summer has really arrived here with temperatures in the 20s - 30s. It's been amazingly hot.
