Home for Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you dropped by.

I hope you are dealing with this "new normal" in a creative way.
I think I'm starting to get used to it.  Last week went by a lot faster
and I only thought it was Saturday once!


I was going through my Christmas UFO box and found this little background.
I'd inked it with Distress Ink and tried splattering some water to get a
snowy look.  My little drops ended up being one big glop.  Oops!
Not wanting to trash it, I did the next best thing and threw it in my UFO box instead.

A scene with a large object to hide the blemish felt like a good fit.
So I stamped this house on some woodgrain paper and die cut it.
Boo boo hidden!

I removed a bit of color through a circle stencil in the top corner.
It's Neenah and the water started the paper to pilling.  I was able to
color it in for the moon and hide most of it with the frame.

Sometimes it seems like it's one blooper after the other.

I think this is passable for a Christmas card.  At least I hope so.

Challenges:
Christmas Kickstart: Winter Wonderland: Create a Scene
