Wrap Up Warm.

I'm woefully late for our

Christmas Card Reveal.

Sorry Kate I have been away for a few days 

and didn't have time to prepare before I went.

Kate's choice for this challenge was

'Woolie Hats and Gloves'.
We were allowed to add scarves too!

So straight into my used christmas card pile
and I found a card front showing mitts,hat and a sock.

I trimmed  it down using  a Crafts-Too square dies scalloped edge

and adhered to matching red cardstock.

I then made up one of my acetate sandwiches

using green base card wrapped over to the front and attached

to the acetate with the image in between.

I found some green holly stickers for down the front hinge

 and also used to decorate along the base of the acetate.

Next I had a look through my stamps and digi's to see

if I could use something from my christmas stash.

I found this digi image by Mo's Digital Pencil 

'Valerie with Snowball'

I coloured using my promarkers in two shades of blue.

Fussy cut out the hat,scarf,coat and snowball and adhered

to a separate digi image using the same colours. I used 3D

pads to raise them up on top.

I used an embossing folder from

Practical Publishing International on the pale blue cardstock.

I attached this to a dark blue cardstock to make the base card

then adhered the image to it.

Acetate was attached to the hinged flap and makes the front of the card.

I used blue/white bakers twine wrapped round the hinge to make a bow.

I used silver sticker edging, snowflakes and sentiment

on the acetate front for decoration.
