Merry Christmas In April

 
Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a Christmas card made using a "never before used" stamp set from Lawn Fawn called Christmas Dreams I bought as a birthday present to me last year and is inspired by the book/poem Twas The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore. (clicking the link sends you to a history about this beloved story)

I started out by stamping the fireplace, rug and Christmas tree on scrap Neenah white card stock before stamping everything else on scrap card stock to use later.  After I colored it all using both my prismacolor and copic markers, I lightly stippled some Stampin Up ruby red ink around the edges before stippling some Altenew lagoon ink around the edges over the ruby red ink using my blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios.  I then fussy cut all of the smaller images out then adhering them using my Bearly Art glue.  I then layered the image panel and added green brads before adhering the layered panel to my de-bossed card before stippling Stampin Up spruce ink around the edges.  After adding the "dream bubbles" using pop dots , I added crystal ice stickles to highlight parts of the images and some poinsettia drew drops I found in my stash.  I'm pretty please with how it turned out considering I'm still dealing with a sinus infection with bronchitis.
