To wish you all a lot of beautiful things for this Christmas Day and the coming year, I am sharing with you a Christmas card I did for one of my Sisters - I just love how it turned out!
I did not want to use traditional colours for this one, and I chose a main of brown shades - then I added some olive green touches; as it is the the recipient's favourite color.
One might not associate these colours to go well together, but it is a very beautiful combination; it looks really cool in real life! Not even I thought I would like them together.
I used quite some dies here, from some tag dies, to a JOY word, including the nativity scene, and some leave die, the one I used as a base of grass and leaves. This I embossed with Distress ink for added dimension.
I cut the JOY word for three times, to add thickness and dimension. Later on I decided to cut one out of brown cardstock and cut out the Nativity scene figures for some more interest. The papers I used are mostly Pion Design - from the Long Time Ago in Bethlehem collection.
Another detail photo for you, the Betlehem houses can be seen here, used as a background for my scene - together with paper doilies, stamped background, rhinestones, brads, etc.
Wishing you the very best my friend. Thank you for being here and for sharing my crafting journey. It is such a wonderful way to spread love with a handmade card - cause one dedicates time, resources, creativity, and adding a personal touch that you know the recipient will love means that you are attentive to the person's personality. That also means love!
Happy Christmas. May Christ finds a warm place in your heart to stay. Sending you love!
