Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

 

Today's card was created for the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge. First, I embossed a piece of white cardstock using a Spellbinders plaid embossing folder. I stamped the sentiment from Ellen Hutson's Christmas Scribbles stamp set onto some kraft cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I cut the sentiment down into a thin strip. I die cut a piece of red cardstock into a scalloped border using a Papertrey Ink border die, adhered the sentiment strip to the top of that border. I then adhered the entire thing to a piece of patterned paper from The Paper Studio Vintage Christmas 6x6 paper pad. I attached the patterned paper strip to my embossed panel and die cut the entire thing into a smaller panel using a stitched rectangle die from Paper Rose. I adhered the focal panel to my white A2 card base. I then stamped the gingerbread house and the gingerbread man from the now retired Avocado Arts Gingerbread Goodness stamp set onto more kraft cardstock. I fussy cut the images out. I then pattern-pieced the body of the house, the door, and the roof and adhered all of the images to the card using liquid glue. I finished the card off my adding a bow tie to the gingerbread man and a few clear rhinestones from Recollections for a finishing card. Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
