The background is embossed with a snowflake pattern from Dovecraft and edged with Evergreen Bough distress ink. I covered the join in the embossing with some paper from Papermania's Victorian Christmas set. The white rick rack ribbon is also from Papermania - Bellissima Christmas.
The trees were stamped onto the same paper using Evergreen Bough and the shape cut out from the same Sizzix Framelits set. The sentiment is from the same stamp/die set.
The snowflakes are from the Spellbinders 2012 Snowflake pendant set and are covered with shaved ice. Assorted pearls and sequins were used for embellishments.
There is something about June that always makes me think of Christmas. Perhaps because we are halfway there or is it because, as much as I enjoy the sunshine, I love cold winter mornings. Anyway, I always have good intentions to start preparing for Christmas early and never quite get there so this year I am going to try harder...
The card has a lot of different elements as follows:
- Background paper is from Dovecraft Back to Basic Christmas 6x6 pad.
- The presents and robin are stamps from a free magazine set and coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.
- I used the spellbinders classic scallops to die cut the stamp and antique linen distress inks to colour the edges.
- The scalloped circle is matted onto a circle of green coredinations card which I also used for the other die cuts.
- The white strip is punched using a Martha Steward border punch.
- The sentiment is from the Britannia word die set
- The Christmas tree is the Spellbinders Mini Christmas tree die with stickles to create the "baubles".
I am entering this in the ABC Christmas challenge "L is for Little Gifts".
