"...and the stockings were hung..."
I planned to enter this into the following three challenges:
- Country View Challenges: Create a Scene
- Dutch Card Lovers : new or different home-- my home is definitely different during the holidays... {I can't get my card to load through the blenza linky...}
- Frilly and Funkie: 'Tis the Season {aww, closed}
Supplies and notes:
- So, just like my other card today, this was made with the page of a 1950s handyman manual. My awesome friend made a snowman out of this book and then gave me the snowman and the scraps!
- The bare fireplace looked so sad to me, and I immediately envisioned a holiday hearth!
- After I cut little prototype stockings, though, I realized that I liked how striking they looked on the black and white, so I kept it like that.
- I added Aleene's snow to the stockings for the trim.
- I also like it with no sentiment-- somehow it looks modern and vintage at the same time... wait, that means CLASSY!
Your awesome friend sounds super cool! Let's see the snowman! ;0 The image is wonderful and looks great against the pops of red!
ReplyDeleteBack in the day, it was common practice to make these paper folded Christmas trees using a Reader's Digest magazine because they were made with newsprint and were a small but perfect size. Your post reminded me of them. Have a Merry Christmas!
