Country Blue Christmas

Hello Friends! 

I am happy to say I have another Christmas card for the stash.  It has a wonderful vintage/country feel to it and lots of texture from the burlap, as well as very light sponging using drywall tape as the stencil.  I have contrasted that texture with Crystal Effects on most of the ornament and silver Stickles on the star of the ornament-unfortunately, these products are not visible in the photo. 


This card is for several challenges including Simon Says Stamp's sketch challenge-

Curtain Call's great inspiration challenge-

And The Shabby Tea Room's Gingham Country Christmas Challenge-

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!

Lee Ann  :)

Stamps- Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps  Vintage Ornaments, SU Peaceful Wishes
Paper-SU Brown Sugar, Naturals White, Whisper White, SU dsp
Ink-Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Memento Tuxedo Black
Other- Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Ornament Dies, Silver Stickles, pearls,  gingham ribbon, Aqua painter, MFT Fish Tail Flag Stax Die-Namics, burlap, dimensionals

    Lee Ann, this is so simple ... yet STUNNING! I adore the burlap and tiny gingham bow you added to your card and that sweet little pearl is just the icing on the cake! Thank you for sharing your lovely work with us in the Tea Room this week :)
