Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

 Meet Me Under the Mistletoe


Christmas in July arrived at Create and Craft TV and Polkadoodles were showcasing the fabulous Gnome-azing Christmas Collection   
There's a lot going on with this sample card for the show.  I used Gnome Meet Me Under the Mistletoe and coloured using Copics and ProMarkers. I stenciled the background using Trees/Foliage Great Outdoors Stencil then glittered using Glamour Dust. I stenciled the trees again with Distress Oxide, then cut out and attached to give a woodland theme. The door is from Woodland Door Die. The little trees and Noel are from Itsy Bits Plywood Decorative Shapes. Sentiment is from the same stamp set.
