Christmas Blessings with church & blue bells 8x8Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

This classic Christmas scene in blue, certainly evokes sentimental memories of many Christmas seasons with family and friends, and is a design I will use many times in the future.

I have printed the design twice and used one copy as the main image and used the second copy as a decoupage.

The main image I have attached to a 13cm black backing sheet and then wrapped the dark navy blue ribbon across the front and secured it at the back.

I then used padded D.S. tape to attach this to the 14cm square blue card front.

I attached the extra bells, bow and sentiment using padded D.S. tape, and then added the silver peel off strips and corners.

To complete the insert I have use a soft grey version of Christmas lace effect, cup814313_79993, a design by Clare Walker, I have printed and cut to size and added the verse from the free Christmas Verse section and on the left hand side have added the smaller copy of the main image.

I am very pleased with the result, and I still have 2 smaller images left over to make into gift cards.
