Lady Anne is running a Christmas Progressive
Freebie Challenge. I signed up for it and got 2 fabulous images from Crafting With Jack.
One was a Bethlehem image and as I do
not like to use religious images I decided to opt for this traditional Candle
Display. I didn’t like poinsettia very much but I the last year I have really
enjoyed colouring them and making cards, see I open to change J
I coloured the image with Promarkers and
Flexmarkers then cut it out very close to the image and mounted 3d foam
squares.
I used sketch #5 from
I {Heart} Sketches for the layout. The red card blank has been covered with
a music score paper from a traditional Christmas pack Christmas Tidings by
Papermania leaving a thin border of red showing.
For the circular element of the sketch
I used a die to cut a doily out of gold card and threaded an offcut of dotty ribbon through it.
The sentiment is from my ever faithful old Christmas stash and I added a candy
cane epoxy sticker which I have had for many years.
I am very much looking forward to
using the next images and I happy to see my pile of Christmas cards increasing J
