A Merry Victorian Christmas

I love the idea of getting ahead on Christmas cards and it is easy to do when you play along at Merry Mondays.  I pulled out an old Stampin' Up set for this week's sketch-

 A Merry Victorian Christmas

  I think this image has  a Victorian look to it, so I went with that "theme".  I used Peaceful Wishes for the sentiment and Winter is Calling for the image.  The card base is Basic Gray and the cs layers are Primrose Pink, Basic Gray and Snow Festival dsp.  The image is watercolored with Cherry Cobbler, Primrose Pink, Basic Gray, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Glorious Green and Lucky Limeade.  Dazzling Details is used on the coat trim and hats, but you really can't see it in the photo.  A Basic Gray satin bow with an Antique Brad center finishes off this card. 
 
     I have out of town guests coming in tomorrow so I have ALOT of cleaning and preparation to do before then!  Guess I better get to it!  Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog-

Have a Blessed week!
