Christmas comes early...

Hello all, Alison here with a Christmas card... don't faint!  Not only a card - which I really don't do often - but a Christmas card, and I don't usually do the C-thing before November!  But with the lovely stamps in the Christmas Chalk set, it's hard to resist...

I started with some lovely Graphic 45 papers from the Christmas Emporium pad, and cut the little family scene from one of pages.

I did my usual chalkboard technique for the main sentiment - the title of one of my all-time favourite Christmas songs (the Judy Garland version obviously the version of choice!)... Wow SuperFine Bright White embossing powder onto black card, with some added chalkiness from a Prima Chalk Edger and a white pencil.

I layered these two main elements up with the other papers I'd selected from the pad, and stamped the little "25th" on top.  There's a little light dusting of gesso on all the paper edges for a snowy look...

I love this little number stamp - it features on the inside of the card and on the envelope too.

As you can see, the sentiment looks just as good stamped in black!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Things are pretty busy at the moment, both in life and over at Words and Pictures, so I'm keeping it short today... but I'll just leave you with a quick reminder to come and play in the October Referral Program with any projects you've made using Artistic Outpost stamps.  Hope to see you there!
