Christmas Wishes to Warm Your Heart and Home........

Home/House is the challenge at the Jingle Belles Rock ~~ there needs to be a house on your Christmas project. I had quite the time deciding what I would use, in fact I brought several "house" stamps with me this weekend. so look for at least one more before the challenge is over on Wednesday. Here is what I ended up using.


I used the large background house stamp from Hero Arts Stamped it in tuxedo black memento ink layered it on red and on a black base, I added a bit of colour to the houses,. The car with the tree is also from Hero Arts, I coloured, fussy cut and added clear acetate to the windows.


Close up but you really can't see the acetate.


The sentiment on the front and the inside sentiment are from Stampabilities

I am entering this in:
Jingle Belles Rock ~~ O' Little Town of Bethlehem 

12 Months of Christmas ~~ Optional theme the nature of Christmas

Thanks for visiting today and it's one more holiday card for my stash.

    So cute! My daughter was reminded of Christmas Vacation... would be fun to say "It's not going in our front yard, Russ..."
