I love a good Christmas carol, but I don't have any stamps with angels or kings or a stable so I chose The Holly and The Ivy as my inspiration for this week's challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown (I even had to borrow the ivy leaf stamp, when I'd come up with my idea - thanks Jacqueline ;)
I stamped and cut out the leaves in various shades of green, then added silver or green Stickles to the edges. I used a woodgrain stamp to make the mantelpiece and picture frame and used some Holly Berry Bouquet DP for the 'wallpaper'. A freebie brad from SU -thanks to my wonderful SU demonstrator (also known as the evil temptress!) and a sentiment from a (retired?) SU hostess set completes the job.
Great card Louise - have a great holiday - Jacqueline xx
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore it, Louise! The glitter edged ivy is amazing and your patterned paper is just beautiful! LOVE it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are somewhere sunny Louise! Sunshine is good for the soul :o) I love your holly on this card that the framed sentiment is just perfectly hung! Looks like old time wallpaper with a picture hung above a mantel - it's just terrific. Enjoy the sun! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThe ivy matched your dsp so perfectly! Love the stickles you added along the edges and super cute frame idea! Hope you are having a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteLouise, your room scene card is fabulous, very clever! I love your holly leaves with the different greens and the sparkle! Great mantelpiece!
ReplyDeleteOf course, you chose the perfect song too - same one as me! ; )
Hope you had a wonderful holiday in the sun! Ruth x
