So this is Christmas... [I'm singing this song as I write this...] and what have I done for the Craft Barn blog, I hear you ask? Well, a Christmas card of course!
I wondered if I should call on my Oops Birdie for the occasion but he declined, on account that the poor fellow did not want to be confused with a turkey... [didn't have the heart to tell him there's zero chance of that!!!]
Instead, just to prove that fungi aren't just for Autumn, I enlisted my Mushroom Lane house, which I found snowed in since we last saw it.
I believe there has been, as well as snow, several glitter showers recently....
So without further ado,
Supplies:
Riley and Company Mushroom Lane Cling Stamps - House 2
Find it Trading Dies: Yvonne Creations - Merry Christmas
cArt-us glitter cardboard: White and blackColouring: alcohol markers, white acrylic paint, silver gel pen.
The fun thing about this card is the way the partially die-cut "Merry Christmas" projects its shadow on whatever is behind. Like so:
I do hope you will have a great time during the 12 days of the season and that New Year will find you in fine fettle and rearing to craft.
Merry Christmas to you all!!!

That's such a clever fold, and the part cut greeting is really cool. Love the Mushroom Lane house - best not let Cestina get a look at it - she's a fungi guru, and she'll want me to invest!! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad I hopped over Christine because I saw this before Christmas and I was so sure I had already left a comment but not sure where it went.
ReplyDeleteAnyways I love this make and the style of the card. Your colouring is also amazing.
