Xmas By The Water

Hi Everyone
Well the Autumn weather is finally here. The leaves are changing & we had our 1st proper frost in Essex this week. So I will definately be spending a lot more cosy here in my craft room. I have started making preparations for next year's projects & I am really looking forward to the year ahead. But before that happens we have a small matter of Xmas to deal with.

I have been playing with another Staf Wesenbeek card. I am not a great kit lover & if I do buy a kit I tend to pull it apart & see what else I can come up with. This is another card that has been born from that.

I used the Sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches as my inspiration. I cut round the image, then decoupaged & added some stickles. The bell & charm I found in a drawer & added these to the washi tape lace. The sentiment is from last years Forever Friends kit.

Here is a closer look at the image.

I wanted to keep the inside fairly light as this card will be making its way out to Australia soon, so I just used the main layout with a bit more washi tape lace x Clare x
