The very talented Toni is the host of this fortnight's challenge theme and she has chosen "Let's Celebrate" :-)

Here is my project :
As I am up to my ears in Wedding Invitations at the moment I took the opportunity to make a Christmas card.......... !! I love Christmas but I am afraid I am rather behind with many of the preparations. My card was die cut using a Spellbinders Grand Oval Die, which was inked around the edges with
Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
I then took a piece of dark brown card from my stash, distressing the edges using my
Tim Holtz scissors....love the textured edge. The next mat was one of
Tim Holtz Seasonal papers that were also distressed around the edges and inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.
Multi Medium was applied to adhere the layers.
Having recently purchased Tim Holtz Alterations Frameworks Lattice Die I ran it through my
BigShot, using another piece of paper from Tim's Seasonal Paper Stash.
Snowflakes, sentiment and numbers below were cut out of more seasonal papers then edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink as well as
Black Soot and
Gathered Twigs Distress Markers.
To obtain that sparkle we particularly adore at Christmas I applied
Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue.
Don't you just adore
Tim Holtz Prancing Reindeer Bigz Die ? It is certainly a huge favourite of mine this year x
Do hope you can join in with us over at ATP Exchange for the last challenge of 2014 and remember.....you may be the lucky winner of the £10 gift voucher!!!! As they say.........You have to be in it to win it!!!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Annie. Both vintage and festive at the same time. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI did think you must be very busy with wedding prep but glad you found some time to make this card because it is beautiful. The deer is one of my favs this year too and I love how you cut him from patterned paper, it looks wonderful. Hope you get a little break to enjoy the Christmas festivities. Hugs, Anne xx
