Christmas Joy
So, I finally got a chance to make a Christmas card yesterday for the current challenges going on over at Festive Friday and Jingle Belles. Jingles Belles theme is "red" and here's FF's inspiration picture.

I obviously used red a fair amount and I picked out the snowflakes from FF's picture too. I first cut my partial circle and then stamped my snowflake (it came from Michaels many years ago) with white StazOn ink. Then I sponged Ruby Red (SU!) ink overtop. I cut a strip of paper with all the Christmas words (Recollections from their Home for the Holidays paper pack) and attached to my white card base. I added some ribbon (from Michaels) along one side then attached my circle. The snowflakes are from Dollarama, of all places. They are clear and I sponged some white StazOn ink to make them show up a bit more. Added some green rhinstones and adhered them on. Lastly I added my "Joy" with glitter stickers by Dear Lizzy from the Neapolitan collection. There is some gold foiled words on the paper I used which is hard to see but you get a better look in the detail photo.
Well, that's all for me for now. Thanks for visiting and have a lovely day!

Okay, you asked about milk paint. Do a Pinterest or Google search for Miss Mustard Seed and take it from there. Her personal blog is dedicated mainly to her own home and decorating, which is so gorgeous. The milk paint blog is dedicated to all things milk paint, and if you do look on Pinterest, you'll lose a lot of hours to so many beautiful pieces! Your project sounds lovely though, and if you love that chippy, distressed look, it might just be what you're looking for! Thanks for your comment!
