The Night Before Christmas...

This weekend I made another christmascard with Papirdesigns new christmaspapers.
What inspired me to make it was a (new) stamp, the poem about the little girl who thought she'd been so nice that she had to hang a pantyhose by the fireplace... I think this cute Sarah Kay-image fits well to that text. It's an image I've had for years, and get more fond of every time I use it (although it has some tricky colouringparts). This time I coloured with ProMarkers again.
On the front, the paneledges are inked (DistressInk WalnutStain) and sewn down.
The lacy edge is made with a Martha Stewart edge punch (Doily Lace).
The sentiment is a cutout from one of Papirdesigns older christmascollections, I used GlossyAccents on top of it (oh, how I hate that wait-untill-it's-dry-part!!!)
Beneath the sentiment is the poem, rolled up, with a ribbon tied as a bow around it (picture of it opened further down).

And here's the inside, made as a "light" version of the Sketch Saturdays sketch I used to make the front.

On the left side (where I think it's too bulky to write anything by hand, I stamped two different christmasgreetings. On the rightside I just stamped the same "borders", but left the rest blank to write a personal greeting.

Of course the edges are inked inside too :)

The backside, where I made a "Postcard", using different stamps, one of them saying something like "handmade with warmth and care by", then I masked in my name from a different stamp:

Here I've opened the bow, to show the poem:

Here's a close-up showing the poem, rolled out:
