Thankyou Roses and Day 1 Advent Village

This is my second post today.  Click here for my Let's Go Shopping post.


So this next card is for Little Tangles where the challenge is a thank you themed project.


I die-cut the Memory Box Large Circle Burst from two pieces of glitter card - one dark pink, the other with a rose design, stuck the rose design panel onto the card front, then painstakingly stuck the dark pink circles back into the holes.  I've had the glitter card in my stash for years and years.  I stamped the Thanks stamp from Neat & Tangled Everyday Circles onto a circle of white card then popped it up on foam dots in the centre.

Remember my Advent Village?  I'm planning to post a close-up of each house every day till Christmas Eve. Here's No. 1, Advent Village:

  1. Hi Shirley. Gorgeous rose paper - so pretty!

    Love your advent village and am excited to see all 24 up close and personal. :)

    No. 1 is so fun with the red door (love red!) and star above. Love how you've added the hanging star on the other side to co-ordinate. So sweet! Loll xx
