'Village Christmas Bauble.'

Hi there Lovelies,

Hope you are all managing to keep warm during this very cold spell of weather.   Bitterly cold here but bright and sunny, which helps lol!  log fire up the chimney!    Thanks once again for your lovely comments on my last blog and all the visits, really appreciate them.

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you which I made for Sue & Harvey of Imagination Craft's, for their shows on the Hocjand T.V. Channel at the end of June 2018.   I decided to steer away from the traditional Christmas colours for this one and use silver, blues and lavender, some of my favourite colours, the other being duck egg blue and teal.

   
Matt and layer a smaller square of lavender card onto the 7" x 7" white base card.   Cut a smaller square of white card and colour with the light blue and light purple Mixed Media Spray Inks.   Give it a quick spray or two of the Silver Shake & Gilt, just to add a slight shimmer to the background.

When dry, lay the snowflakes stencil onto the card and dab some Versamark through the design, using some cut 'n' dry foam.   Remove the stencil and heat emboss, using some white embossing powder and a heat gun.   Matt this onto the base card.

Cut or die-cut a circle from the silver satin card, large enough for the village scene will fit onto it.   Lay the bauble stencil onto it and spread the  Midnight Ice & Blue Ice Sparkle Mediums over the design, using a metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave to dry.   Fix this to the base card.

     
Lay the stencil onto a spare piece of white card and spread the Midnight Ice over the leaves and berries only.   Cut these out and 3D these onto the original images using silicone glue.

    
Glue a bow to the top of the bauble.    Glue three blue gemstones to the top right and bottom left corners.

    

     
Die-cut three large and three small snowflakes from white card, using the Tattered Lace dies.   Colour them with the Blue Ice Sparkle Medium, then glue these to the top left and bottomright corners of the base card.

   

        

   

Well the card is now finished except of course, for an insert.   Hope you like it.   The Imagination Craft's items I have used in the making of this card, can be purchased from  www.crafterscompanion.co.uk             Thank you for stopping by my blog, I do hope you've enjoyed your visit.    Catch you all again soon.
