Sleigh ride.....

At the moment I have enough cards to alternate between everday and Christmas cards, so it's a Christmas card for you today. Another Easy Easel (I'm afraid that you are going to be seeing a lot of these!) made with Dovecraft papers. I chose traditional colours for this one because the sleigh is quite classic and ornate. I used gold mirri to matt all the panels and for the base of the sleigh. The borders are decorated with an MS Holly punch. I cut the sleigh base once from gold mirri and again from patterned paper ( I cut off the runners) layered them up then added the gold mirri trim along the top. The sleigh was enhanced with a dressmaker's wheel and embellished with a layered poinsetta and punched leaves. The border beneath the sleigh was wrapped with red velvet ribbon and a bow added. The lower border was kept simple with a couple of flourishes and a simple sentiment.
