"JOLLY"
Layout by Marie Sabatier


Hello everyone,

I present to you my first inspiration for this month of December.
A Christmas-themed layout embellished with superb chipboards, including this magnificent Christmas tree so well made. With photos of my grandchildren from last Christmas in the middle of unboxing gifts. 

"JOLLY"


Initially, not knowing which color to choose to decorate the chipboards, I applied a first layer of white gesso.
Finally, I decided to use black because it matched better the background paper decoration.
I had some fears that the result would be too dark, but after trying, I liked the result.
For this, I used the Distress Oxide ink "black soot". I pressed the words while I opted for a lighter application on the branches.


On the chipboard "curly-christmas-light-borders" I use the bulbs to add enamel dots.  
I love the movement of this border of light. 


I add "bush-nut-floral-clusters" to complete the cluster of embellishments.
To decorate them, I used a stamp adorned with round patterns in order not to completely cover them.



I hope you liked this layout.

Your visit is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
