'Twas the Night Before Christmas

Hello friends!  Today, I am sharing the last card that I made for the Kat Scrappiness Holiday Release.  I think this might be my favorite!  

I literally had the best time creating this card with all sorts of mediums!  To start, created a night sky using Distress Oxide Inks.  I also created the snowflake background using a stencil and white ink.  

I die-cut the window pane using the Night Before Christmas Window Scene Dies from the Lumber Yard 6 x 6 Paper Pad to create a woodgrain window frame.  I used the same die to die-cut the night sky panel so that I could paper piece it into the background spaces.  (That was teriffying!)

I die-cut the tree from green cardstock and added the snow using my almost dried up shimmer white texture paste.  The good thing about it being on its last leg is that it has a chunky effect, so it looks more realistic.  I die-cut the star out of gold cardstock, the snowflakes from shimmery white cardstock, and the silhouette of Santa and his sleigh from black card stock and adhered them all in place.

Once all of my elements were adhered to the card front, I finished the card off with a loopy bow.

I don't know about you, but this card just makes me want to re-read Twas the Night Before Christmas!  I am ready for Santa to visit (well, not really... not even a little bit ready!!), are you?

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

Xoxo, Kim
