LOTV Regency Christmas Girl

Hello lovely people,

I had a most wonderful time yesterday celebrating the marriage of 2 very lovely friends and we were delighted to have sunny weather for it.
Everything was so beautiful and it was an utterly joyful day :-)

So today I am 'recovering' with plenty of caffeine and a little play in my craft room.

Meanwhile, I have another sneak peek for you from the second half of the amazing Christmas release at LOTV, which will be available from Monday 8th August, so that's TOMORROW peeps!

I'm excited to show you one of the gorgeous Christmas girls; there are 4 of them from different eras and I have used the Regency one.

As soon as I saw these I wanted to colour them in monochrome with a pop of colour and I think it worked really well :-)

I added sparkle to the snow with some Nuvo Drops which gives quite a subtle sparkle...too subtle for the camera I see!

I kept the design simple with a sentiment cut from a border strip on the DP, and a few die cuts and pearls.

I did initially think cutting the holly vines also in a pale colour might be too subtle but decided that was actually a good thing because I really didn't want to take the focus off the gorgeous image.

I do hope you are all having lovely weekend whatever you are doing :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
