Christmas Scene.

Time once again for the girls in

the Christmas Card club to show 

their creations. 

It was the turn of Kate to set the theme

and her choice was Christmas Scene.

So off to my box of  used Christmas card fronts

 I went  and turned up 

another 2 suitable  ones 

and as you will know by now I used them both!!

First up the Vintage style.

I liked this card front showing a vintage scene

of days gone by.

Again it didn't need much added to it

just a freshen up. 

I used a cream card blank and addhered a smaller sized 

piece of  pearlescent  rolled gold card stock on top.

I trimmed the card down slightly and used my inverted

corner chomper  to add a bit of interest to the shape.

There was a tag included in the original picture which

I thought looked a bit bland so  I simply made another one up 

and popped over the top. 

I used a  gold foil sticker for the sentiment  

with a few matching stars and a snippet of silver gold

thread for the tag pull.

No one will be any the wiser apart from you

but you won't tell will you!!

Pearls for each corner completed the new look. 

Second card is a little bit Whimsical.

Original card front was a lot longer but 

I had the idea of cutting into 3 unequal panels

and overlaying the centre larger panel over the top 

of the smaller side panels thus making a squarer shape.

The scene just lent itself to this idea and it worked perfectly 

without loosing continuity of the scene.

I used  a white card blank for the base and covered 

both the front and inside with red card stock. 

I adhered the side panels on first and then the middle panel

on 3d pads over the top. Again not much else needed.

I die cut the corners using Spellbinders

'Marvelous Squares' 

Once glued in place 

4 pearls from my stash  finished the card. 

Side view showing the overlay of panels.

So once again you choose.

Vintage style or A little bit Whimsical?
