Merry Little Christmas

Hi everyone.  Today's card features a beautiful snowflake frame (Snowflake Frame from Nostalic Christmas by Amy Design) that I recently won from Rudolph Days --- thanks again Maureen!!  It's so pretty!  And with only a very small image (Scarved Sweeties from Penny Black), the border makes the perfect pairing to create a cute Christmas card.

This card was a save. :)  I originally stamped and watercoloured the hedgie on mixed media paper and inlaid it into the snowflake frame.  The last step was to add the sentiment once everything was in place.  Of course, it blurred.  Uggghhhh!  I ended up cutting out the hedgie and paper piecing it onto a new card front with just a swipe of blue for the snow and then adding the snowflake frame over top.  This time I used my memento black ink to stamp the sentiment ... perfect! :)

Close-up ...

I love the sparkly bits on the hedgie's hat ... glitter snow embossing paste! :)  I used my white Posca pen to add details to the scarf, hat, and presents.

I'm sending this card over to Rudolph Days January Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes.

Also sending the card to Peace on Earth Challenge #18 - Anything Goes.

    This is a gorgeous frame and just so pretty cut white on white Loll, and the sweet little hedgie beautifully coloured, with that nice small sentiment, fit inside it perfectly. x

    This is a darling Christmas card Loll! I am so in love with the snowflake frame. You sweet little hedgy fits in there so perfectly-he looks so cue in his sparkly hat and polka dotted scarf. Love that he is taking good care of his Christmas gifts too. So stinking cute! Glad you were able to salvage your little hedgy. I hate when I mess up a card with the sentiment as I finish it up...but it happens. You salvaged it and that is all that matters! Hugs, Brenda

    What a great save, Loll! I can't tell this cute little hedge was cut and paper-pieced on the new card front!! The snowflake frame is so pretty and delicate. The white posca pen detail adds so much interest to the image!
