Christmas advent....LOTV little scene.

Hi...hope you are all good today?

a little LOTV Christmas advent...

 

just had this idea the other day,

it has been an evening project this week
 and great fun to make.

my hubby cut me a few wooden blocks 

a while ago and just sanded the edges on this piece

and distressed it with TimHoltz frayed burlap ink.
the sweet winter image is Build a Snowman,           
i have coloured with distress markers,
added some sparkle with a gelly roll pen
 (which sadly doesn't show up well on the photos)
and the snow is puff white embossing powder.
i have also stamped the Christmas postcard
and star from the Christmas Icons samp sheet
which gave me the idea to
punch the 24 days of advent with
a postage stamp punch,the numbers are
cut from Tim Holtz decorative Alphabetical strip
and i set a little eyelet in each corner

 

the wire and rusty bell are from

an old Christmas decoration

and it just about holds all of the advent cards :) 

the paper is by Kaisercraft and the trees

 are cut from Dee's Christmas Stacker Tree die.

 

a photo from above

 

the LOTV hand written phrase was just

right for the front,December word is

also made from the TimHoltz die,

 i added a bit of lace and a button.

 

thanks so much for stopping by,

have a lovely day.

hugs all,Lou.xxxxxx
