Paper nest dolls, new release, Mrs claus ....

Good morning all, sorry i haven't been around for a little while as my life seems to be hectic at the moment, not only have my three girls broken up from school for summer holidays, i am also doing extra shifts at work as there's only me at the moment, cos another girl left, fingers crossed that a new girl is starting next week, i am also living in a demolition site at home lol, as i'm having a new kitchen fitted next week so have practically just got a sink, fridge and freezer in there at moment, i am so ready for my hols in 3 weeks time .....

                   Any way that's enough of me babbling on, i'm here today to share with you 
                    card using one of the new images from the Paper nest dolls new christmas 
                               release, i decided to use Mrs Claus, how adorable is she ........



                          I have made a shadow box card as i haven't made one in a little while  
                                             and have coloured Mrs Claus in Copic markers ...


                               Here you can see the depth and how 3D these style of cards look,
                                      I cant remember off hand the brand of papers i used as they
                                           some loose sheets i had in my box, but will find out and
                                                                    add it later on today.....
                                    The wood reindeer and wording were from my stash....
                                       The snow tex which i added all around the frame, and 
                                         white beaded sprays are from Live and Love Crafts....
                                                 

Here is a close up of the gorgeous poinsettia, which i made
using a Marianne Design die and added gesso round the edges,
        the leaves are cut from a a magnolia doohickey.....
