The night before Christmas



   The challenge staring today at Crafty Cardmakers and More has the theme 'Twas the night before Christmas.
   I began by matting paper from Wild Rose Studio's 'A Robin's Christmas' paper pack onto red card. The image was stamped using one of the stamps from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Christmas set of stamps called walnut cradles. I coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out using a Tattered Lace decorative circle die, after which I dusted the background using distress inks. I then matted it onto green core'dinations cardstock which was also cut out using a decorative circle die. The sentiments were from a Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Designs Christmas eve decoupage sheet.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Penny Black and More - anything Christmas
   Passion for Promarkers - Christmas is coming
   Craftyhazelnut's Christmas - used die cuts or punches
   Inky Impressions - traditional Christmas colours
   Digi Designs - cute and cuddly
   The Cutie Pie - simply cute and Christmassy
   The Paper Shelter - a Christmas card
   Fab 'n' Funky - Christmas
   Pile It On - use red and green
   Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - anything goes
   Gruffies and Guests - red and/or green
   Vintage Stamping - traditional Christmas
   Suzy Bee's Bloomin' - anything goes with a die cut
   Penny's Paper-Crafty - use something from your crafty stash ( paper pack)
   Fantasy Stampers - traditional Christmas

   Lacy Sunshine - sweet dreams of Christmas

    Awwww, what a sweet image! I love the pretty background paper you used and the fabulous scalloped circles. I like how you chose a couple of appropriate lines from the poem for your sentiment too. Great job!
    Cheers,
