Another Christmas Card

            This day, although very mild outside, is a downer! I started getting a cold yesterday and today, it’s got a good hold on me. I can’t remember the last time I had a cold. Joe gets them much more frequently than I do and I seldom catch his. He’s thinking he may be coming down with it too though.  Luckily I did get all the quilts for Christmas gifts finished and couriered off so now I can just sit and do nothing….or not much….I’m not much of a do nothing person.

        Today’s card is one I made using an old, and very likely retired, stamp from Stamping Bella.

 

         The image was coloured with pencils and blended with gamsol and then die cut with the Spellbinder’s oval die. This was glued to a Stampin’ Up die (also retired) cut piece from red cardstock. The background is Kraft cardstock that I ran through the embossing folder using the wood grain folder; sponged on some darker brown in and then splattered white paint on to look like snow. The rag is from the stash. Once it was all assembled I added glitter to the wreath. I have to do this last and set aside to dry or I smear it.

        That’s all for Wednesday, December 20, 2018…..can you believe it’s almost Christmas? It sure doesn’t feel like it here. We had a high of 8C (46F) here again today….but it’s now raining…. That’s okay, we don’t have shovel rain!!! No white Christmas for us though. I like a white Christmas but it can leave again on the 26^th!

       

        Cheers
