I love making Christmas cards after I don't actually need any more because then I can just enjoy the process with no pressure. This card uses pretty Christmas papers I bought last year from Create and Craft and they were an amazing bargain price. They are gorgeous colours and the set includes printed vellum and die cuts, plus they are still available in their sale.
I used a Craftwork Cards 6 x 6 blank and distressed the edges of the papers using my distressing tool from Making Memories, but you can just use scissors. I added a piece of translucent vellum from my stash and sewed it on with my sewing machine using a zig zag stitch . I also sewed the stripy strip using a straight stitch.
The image is a Pink Petticoat digi from last year coloured with pencils. I used distress ink around the edge whilst it was still in the spellbinders die. This is mounted onto a nestie scalloped circle in one of the background papers. The snowflake is a Marianne die and the buttons were clear ones that I coloured to match using copics. The ribbon is from a local haberdashers and is tied along with the buttons with crochet cotton. I added some fluffy stuff on the main image to finish it off.
Thanks for coming by and any comments very welcome and appreciated :).
