My aim was to go for the shabby chic look and my main focus was the Poppy Stamps Grand Madison window die. After cutting this I painted it using a baby wipe to get a deliberately uneven coating. The image behind is a Websters Pages 6 x 6 paper and the little dangling heart a Memory Box die. I mounted the window onto a suitably shabby Kaisercraft Christmas 12 x 12 paper. I decorated with more die cuts - the sentiment tag and mistletoe are Doo Hickey dies, the fir leaf is from the Tim Holtz Bigz Tattered Pinecone die. I loved this sentiment which is a Lindsay Mason clear stamp that only cost just over £1.
I finished off with red paper roses, some artifical berries, a ribbon and wooden laser cut snowflakes and hearts.
Well just one more day to get my preparation for Christmas finished. I am still need to get my fresh evergreens in from the windswept garden and do some cooking, but I am on the home straight now!
I hope you and yours are all safe for Christmas following the wild weather of the last 24 hours.

the little scene outside the window is a lovely touch & I do like the way you added the little dangly heart bauble to it. The red looks super against the browns & greys & your shabby window frame certainly has the 'right' look about it. That's a lovely spray of flowers etc…….

Well, I have to say that I loved this card as well, thank you so much! It's a lovely design, from the shabby torn edges to the scene 'outside' the window. The red roses and ribbon really pop in the design, and your sentiment was a bargain. Love Judith xx
