Deck the Halls for Christmas

This week Diane's Daydream Designs is sponsoring Tuesday Morning Sketches.

 

This is my card using their sketch # 276. 

I used Daydream Design DECK THE HALLS OUTLINE SET

I printed it a couple of times.

 I water colored it with markers and water. 

I then cut the poinsettia apart into 3 sections.

 I used faux paper tole technique to give it dimension.

I added gold paint to the center of the poinsettia.

I punched four pine branches. 

I made the pine cones by quilling 

 a punched scalloped circle of brown cardstock.   

 I used glue to add some of my fake snow. 

My fake snow is styrofoam balls that I rubbed together

to make crumbles. I added glitter to the crumbles. It makes

really pretty fake snow, and it is cheap.

I wanted to keep the sentiment simple.

 I used an old alphabet set to make SCRABBLE tiles.

Here is a close up of one of the pinecones.

You can also see the dimension of the poinsettia.

  

Another close up.

 

 

I love making easel cards because they are so easy to make

and they have a wow factor.
