Countdown to Christmas 2017

Oh my, we have arrived at the 1st of December and I can now start the countdown to Christmas, my very favourite time of the year!

My Mum and I enjoyed a trip to Harrods. The Christmas shop is always a delight.

All these lovely red and greens fits in well with my card today which is my Design Team inspiration for Country View for our new December Challenge. The theme is Christmas with optional reds, greens and rust! The details are here

I love the sound of sleigh bells at Christmas so I thought that I would made some rusted bells for my projects. Today I am sharing my jingle bells card. I will share the other on December 17th.

I die cut some Tim Holz bells and added texture paste

 When it was dry I started building up layers with my mixed media DecoArt acrylic paints.

 Once I was happy I left these to dry.

For my background I made a red inky base with distress inks and added some trees using my TH stencil

I then stamped a pattern with my fave Tim retro Christmas stamps.

I then put my card together.
