Ugly Sweater Weather

Hello Nomad friends.  It's very wet and windy here today with hurricane force gusts predicted.  And the end of the month is looming so I think I will stay in, cosy in my craft room, and try and finish some of the very very many UFO's on my desk.  Starting with a rainbow card for Jo's Christmas Kickstart challenge.  Well, a rainbow of colour, even if no actual rainbows........

I made a red/green/yellow brusho background the other day and some of it was still lurking so I cut a piece with Stamplorations Double Stitch Rectangle die, edged with red Promarker and mounted on a red edged white base.  I die cut my Sizzix Colorize Deer from scraps, including some stripey colourful ex-packaging.  I used the same packaging and a Marianne Designs die for the 'parcel'.  I was expecting the Let It Snow to cut, but it's an emboss feature, so I used it as a stencil and with a Promarker black pen accentuated the lettering.  A bit of folded organza ribbon and done!

I also had this cute Papirdesigns Nisse die cut from blue and white scraps

I had some Papirdesigns Hytta På Fjellet double sided paper which has this lovely blue woodgrain pattern on one side, so I decided to make a door!  I used a Korthobby.no Home Sweet Home charm and a brad for the door handle.  Love that little dangly key!!!  Then I needed a background.  Mushrooms!  Perfect.  Papirdesigns Sopptur paper, cut with a stitch die and a little frost added to the 'shrooms with glitter glue.  A bit of white cut with a stitch edge for some snowy ground and a little more glitter glue sparkle to finish.
