The last teacher's ....

.... Christmas card, ever!!  My son is in his final year of primary school, and next year in secondary school, he will have way too many teachers for individual gifts and cards!!  So this is the very last time I'll have this particular task to add to the Christmas panic!!  Yippee!!  I still haven't finished the present, there'll be a morning-dark picture taken tomorrow before we head in to school, but here's the card I made:

I used a recent Deconstructed Sketch and I'm also entering the following challenges: Basic Grey Challenges ("Anything Goes" - very sad, their last challenge - this was the first challenge blog I ever entered back in the day), Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge ("Use a stamp"), Stampin for the Weekend ("Use some Red"), Papertake Weekly ("Last Christmas card of the Year") and Creative Inspirations ("Anything Goes").

 

I used a plethora of Basic Grey on this card - papers from two different Christmas collections and a stamp from another.  How I love Basic Grey at Christmas!!  Here's a closer look at the little scene I created - the roof and windows have been stamped twice on different colours of card and decoupaged and popped up for dimension.  I wanted to put glitter on the snowy chimney and roof, but Jed said he didn't want to give his teacher a glittery card.  OK so!



Recipe:

Papers: Basic Grey "Figgy Pudding" and "Jovial"

Stamps: Basic Grey "Nordic Holiday", Hero Arts "Stunning Snowflakes" background

Die: Nestabilities "Lacy Circles"

Other: Font "Yummy Cupcakes", white e.p.

Thanks for looking - wish me luck with finishing the teacher's present!
