I'm going to let the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #51 speak for itself this morning...
... I was particularly drawn to that top left photo - but you'll see my love of grey just couldn't be tamped down today so I borrowed from the steely blue-grey of the park bench below it...
Studio Katia provided the fireplace 'screen' that I backed with acetate...
My sign above the fireplace was made with a piece of washi tape that I've had for years - undoubtedly found on the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby!
Two of those sweet stockings that were a freebie die set from Waffle Flower were hung with care, and a bit of Spellbinders greenery and my card elements were mounted on another successful pressing of that Honey Bee embossing plate! It reminds me of the tin walls and ceilings of a favorite candy shop in Newburgh, NY!
I'd better get this one delivered to P.O.E. before I miss the deadline - thanks for stopping by!

There are those cute stockings again, hung by the fireplace and waiting for Santa! I do love the embossing that so closely resembles a tin ceiling. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue dry embossed background for your more traditional Christmas Fireplace and Christmas Stocking scene, Michele. TFS my friend. Happy Holidays...Nancy
