And one very special thing my daughter asked me to help with was to decorate her Christmas tree.
My own tree was chosen last Saturday and is sitting in our garage and is ready to pot up over this weekend. I can't wait to get it decorated and will share this with you very soon...
My card today is the one I have made my darling Daisy for her very first Christmas and it uses my newly bought Wild Rose Studio's Bella's Christmas stamp, as my daughter loves this sweet baby elephant.
It took me a long time to colour the image, I used a combination of Promarkers and Prismacolor pencils. I added some white to the tree which I rather liked. I also added some Glamour Dust to Bella's hat. The Santa and sleigh die is Cheery Lynn, the fern is Marianne and the deer is Memory box which I have embossed with silver embossing powder. I have also embossed the snowflake and added a wooden snowflake which I have coloured with pewter distress paint and added a pink gem for some bling.
The sentiment is LOTV. Here are a couple of close ups.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Hi, Jane! So happy to see you are enjoying some precious time with your 2 girls at this special time of year! Little Daisy looks an absolute doll, though we do forget just how much hard work they can be!
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet Christmas card with that cute image and I see your Distress Paints have made an appearance again (product of the moment?!) Can't wait to get my craft room back and to get my Christmas tree up - everyone keeps telling me that it's Christmas...not that I'd know it! It's decorating of a different kind for me! Take care and enjoy the rest of the weekend! Hugs, Lisa x
thats the sweetest little christmas pudding I ever did see Jane! Love our card too - so beautifully colourful - love it xx
ReplyDeleteOh, I can't get enough of Daisy Jane! She's a beautiful child with HAIR! Mine were all bald forever! What a nice thing for you to help out while SIL was gone, a super way of bonding with DJ. You really should get a bottle of this ink for hubby.. it's downright LUSH. Would you get the red or blue?

Oh how gorgeous is Daisy in her little Christmas outfits?! She's just too cute. Sounds like you were a great help, we live so far from family, I'd have loved to have had mine nearer when the boys were small. Bethx
