Deck the Halls for Christmas


 
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.
