White and Red Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, 

just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten,

and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow. 

 

I have been singing this song for a while now and hopefully we will have a white Christmas this year. The card I will be sharing today is a white card with a dash of red and green and I was inspired by the challenge at Totally Tilda Blog (which is white Christmas).

This card is a rocking card onto which I adhered a white paper doily. The image is a pre-colored digi image which I matted and layered onto a top note template cut-out. The rose flower was handmade (instructions can be found HERE) using hand cut scalloped circle.

  

The sentiment says "The Advent Epidemic. Warning: BE on the alert for symptoms of inner HOPE, PEACE, LOVE and JOY" and this is from Create with TLC. I love this sentiment.

I will be entering this card for the following challenges:
One Stitch At A Time - Use A Digi
Aud Sentiments - Winter Holiday Sentiments
Polka Doodles - Quick Christmas card

HOW TO CUT A SCALLOP CIRCLE WITHOUT A PUNCH OR DIE CUT

To start you will need a square piece of card stock (mine measures 10cm by 10cm). Remember the bigger/smaller the paper the bigger/smaller the scallop circle. For the flower above the card stock I used measured 8cm by 8cm.

Fold the card stock into half.

And then fold into a quarter.

 Then fold again corner to corner giving it a nice firm crease.

With the closed point towards you, draw an arc with a pencil.

Using your scissors cut along the arc.

Then unfold you cardstock to reveal the scallop circle.

Until next time, happy crafting. God bless.
