This was one of the cards we made at my Christmas card classes recently.
The base is Very Vanilla, and there are additional panels for the door, sponged in Lucky Limeade ink (one of our new In Colors for 2011-12)
The wreath was made starting with a circle punchie, with a second hole punched in the middle. Around this, I used the branch from the 2 step bird punch, and I glued them on with the wonderful Tombow Multi Purpose Glue. The flowers are punched using the Itty Bitty Punch pack small flower, in Melon Mambo. Not exactly traditional Christmas colours, but bright and fresh for Australia's HOT Christmas! A bit more bling, with a few of the Basics Pearls in the centres.
The doorknob is a Vintage brad, which is a great standin!
The sentiment is from Snow Swirled, and punched with the Scallop Oval punch, popped up on a dimensional and with the edges inked for definition.
