A Christmas Wish

Hello everybody!
Two more days and the year bows! You are probably in the preparation for the new year and I wish you right now a wonderful New Year's Eve!
However, I would like to remind you that you still have two weeks to participate in our current challenge at the Dream Factory. - Maybe you want to be a bit quiet after all these festivites and create a little something!

This months movie is 

Home Alone

Maman, j'ai raté l'avion

Kevin allein zuhause

I made this card as part of a Christmas gift exchange with my teammates at the Dream Factory. --- (we call that "Weihnachtswichteln --- I don't know if there is an English word for it)!

The upper part of the background is made with a stencil and the floor with a wood pattern stamp. I stamped, cut and embossed the image (Crafter's Companion) in several times and then layered it with Foam pads to get a 3D image. The mouse is from Katzelkraft. I colored with felt-tip pens.

... and here is the actual gift that accompanied the card!

The balloon and the teddy bear are made of felt. I drew, cut and sewed all the pieces by hand and then stuffed them. Before assembling the teddy, I wiped some brown ink on his face and on the rest of his body to give him a livelier look. A small nose and two tiny little eyes made of beads, and he looked really cute!

I removed the glass from the frame and replaced it with a gray, white-stamped cardstock. Now I had the background for the teddy and all I had to do was put him and the balloon in the frame!


The whole set!

The small package contains bar of chocolate 😉

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post, despite much work for the festivites!

I wish you a splendid and roaring New Year's Eve - let pop the corks and slip gently into the New Year! 

Happy New Year!!

Wishing you the very best for 2018!!
