One of my four Christmas cards for the March challenge - Christmas village, including, doors, windows, houses.
The image was stamped and colored with SN markers. I used a paintbrush to apply Frost Shimmer Spritz to the window corners and let it dry before using a silver metallic pencil to accent the stamped lines.
The card base was covered with the striped paper and the window scene attached. It looked too plain, so I stamped the image again, colored the curtains and poinsettias and fussy cut them to layer on the original image. I stamped just the poinsettias, colored and fussy cut, and added them to the scene for just a bit of extra dimension.
The Verve sentiment was stamped on 7gypsies Postale paper die cut and adhered with double sided adhesive.
As always, thanks for looking!

You are so talented, Jody. I applaud your being able to make Christmas cards so early in the year. Keep going! You'll inspire me for sure. Your scene is delightful and so true-to-life. Love the window casing, what's going on outside your window and I love the draperies. Wow, you left no stone unturned today with this work of art, girl.
