Ho Ho Ho...

Hi everyone...the countdown to Christmas is on...only 11 more sleeps until the man in the red suit comes a-calling and honestly I can't believe how organised I am this year...I've even found time to decorate the "HO HO HO" sign and that part was easier than trying to get a half decent "lack of daylight" photograph...
I painted the letters with Evergreen Bough Distress Paint and stamped snowflakes from Mini Weathered Winter using Colorbox Frost White Pigment Ink. The exclamation marks were painted with Picket Fence and sprinkled with Glamour Dust while the paint was still wet.
I cut circles from Tim's Frosted sheets to fit behind the "O" apertures and stamped a Scribbly Christmas Tree on each one with Ranger Archival Black...then coloured the back of the image with Evergreen Bough and Walnut Stain Distress Paint. The star and baubles were coloured on the front with Viva Decor Maya Road.
I die cut Stacked Snowflakes and coloured the edges with Evergreen Bough...finishing off with Texture Paste Snow accents sprinkled with Glamour Dust...pearls and crystal beads.
 and here you can see how the light shines through the frosted apertures...

The December tag has been temporarily put on hold because today's the day I'm planning my annual visit to my favourite "Winter Wonderland/Christmas" shopping destination for coffee cake and a sprinkle of Santa magic to get me in the mood for the festive season.
