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.
