Today's card was inspired by our December/January Words 2 Craft By Challenge. Our words come to us from Charles Dickens.
I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
The card below was made for a good friend who is celebrating the holidays in a brand new home. :)

The pic shows my second attempt at this card.
- I decided the house needed to be grounded. So, I added the cement step.
- I also wanted a better look for the doorbell and handle. To achieve this look, I: stamped the image in black, colored in the doorbell and handle, re-stamped in black, stamped over the black in Versamark embossing ink, and heat embossed using clear powder.
Hope you'll join us at W2CB. Marty's hosting. And, of course, there's a prize up for grabs.
See you at W2CB!
Love this Sybrina! This scene has a nice Dickenson feel to it!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike!! Thanks for another great year at Words 2 Craft By!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou really brought this stamp set to life in the way you created the door and concrete step to ground it! I wasn't impressed with this stamp set until I saw what you did with it, and now I see a possibility I couldn't see before! Great card, and thanks for the inspiration! Have a very Merry Christmas!
