Christmas card club...Lorraines challenge a Christmas scene

what a great opportunity for me to try something a bit different....all inky ....


I started by cutting out a large card with my spellbinder grand scalloped ovals.....and  embossed a lovely Ivy leaf mask...stamps away.... and then distressed it with forest moss distress ink....same ink for the image, one of the Stamps away set from last year...glitter of course for the snow...cut out with Spellbinders opulent ovals....and a bit if distressing round the edges whilst still in the die,back to my favorite poinsettia spellbinders die for the flowers cut out of cream vellum....Ivy leaf die... Marianne die and Cheerylynne designs holly flourish...gold dew drops...I replicated the inside with the same embossing folder.
Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations girls.....
