'Winter Wonderland.'

Hello Lovelies,

Hoping all is well with you and you are looking forward to the weekend    Thank you for your visits and lovely comments on my last blog post, very much appreciated.

Tonight I thought I would share another of my Christmas cards with you all.   For this card, I have once again used a stencil for the background.   This was a Crafter's Workshop stencil I have had for many years, I then added colour by using T.H. Distress inks.   The pine branch and the Christmas Tree bauble stamps plus the bauble die, were given free with the Sentimentally Yours Premium magazine - Issue 88.   The   'Christmas Wishes' sentiment stamp. is by Stampendous and the flower stamp from my craft stash.   O.K. I think it is time to get  started lol.

Cut a piece of white card to a five and three quarter inch square.   Lay the stencil onto it.   Gently rub the Scattered Straw and the Weathered Wood distress inks through the stencil design, using a  Blending tool.             

                                                                Remove the stencil.

 Using a black ink pad, stamp the pine branch in the top right-hand corner.   Matt this piece of card onto a slightly larger piece of light blue card and then onto a 7" square white base card,

Stamp the 'Merry Christmas'  sentiment stamp centrally along the bottom of the stenciled  card again, using the black ink pad.

 

Stamp the bauble onto some spare white card, using a black ink pad and using the matching bauble die,  die-cut the bauble

.

Using some spare white card and the black ink pad, stamp the Christmas Rose and colour  it with some watered down Distress inks.

 Fix the Christmas rose to the centre of the bauble using silicone glue, adding some under each petal.

 Fix the bauble to the centre of the stenciled card using sticky foam pads or silicone glue adding a silver  ribbon bow to the bauble top and the card is finished.   I do hope you like it.   Below is a photo taken at an  angle to show the dimension of the card.

Thank you for taking the time to  visit my blog.    I do hope this card may have  inspired you to 'have a go' at this relaxing and very  satisfying hobby, if you are not already a  card crafter.

Until my next Christmas card blog post, take care of yourselves, catch you all again soon.

                                                               Love and rainbows,

                                                               Hugs    Jennifer xx.
