INTAAS Christmas card based on Christmas carol/Christmas song





A Christmas card based on a Christmas carol or Christmas song is the theme over at International Art and Soul so please come along and join us.

My card blank is a 7x7 by Craft UK, The white paper is embossed with a Crafter's Companion ambossalicious folder. I matted it on to silver card, from Hobbycraft, as the base mat. I've had the little Rudolph reindeer for a while and I'm not sure where it came from. I've got a feeling I got is a prize along with other charms. After sticking him to the centre of the card I used red Card Candi on some of the embossed dots, two of them were metallic just because I could. lol I generated the 'sentiment' in red on the computer before cutting with a Spellbinder die. I edged it with Distress Ink in Barn Door colour and then backed it on to a scalloped Spellbinder oval in red card from Papermill.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

INTAAS - Tiny Things





Our challenge theme is 'Tiny Things' which could be fun, I thought, so come over and join us at International Art and Soul.

Oh my goodness, I think I'm getting too old to get my brain in gear with these challenges. I did think this would be fun but then couldn't think of anything tiny. lol I asked my son and daughter in law and they suggested an Alice in Wonderland design, which I had thought about and then discarded. I was making some Christmas cards last week, sitting in my craft room and after seeing the challenge theme under my nose I started to sing 'Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes' and that was IT. 

My 7x7 scalloped card blank is by Craft UK, surprise, surprise. The pale blue paper and the pale pink paper are from a pack that I've literally had for about fifteen years. I have no idea where I got it and who even designed/made it. I used Spellbinder dies to cut the blue scalloped square and pink oval. The 'Congratulations' is again from the same paper pack and was alongside lots of other sentiments on one sheet. I had thought of generating the word Twins on the computer and then thought people would know it was for twins so congratulations would work just as well. The tiny fingers and tiny toes are stickers that I bought from Create and Craft a loooong time ago.
