Serene. Peaceful. Christmas. Sounds lovely!
Speaking of lovely - I've always loved this birdcage lady stamp. It was one of the first stamps I bought. I used her to create a birthday card awhile back and this color scheme just seemed to work perfectly for her. I changed the sentiment to Hello and had a perfect everyday card.
The stone and white combination does make a lovely serene card.
I've had this Christmas village scene hanging around for several years. A guy here locally has a great selection of old postcards and I picked this up a long time ago. I finally figured out what to do with it!
Framed it up with snowflakes. Added some stone colored snowflakes here and there.
Hard to see, but there is lots of soft, pretty glitter and I added "snow" to a couple of roofs and embossed snowflakes in the sky.
Yes, you may have already figured out, this is what I call an outside in card. The image would normally be on the outside, but it's actually inside.
I've got this Christmas Village ready for you to download below.

Serene. Peaceful. And I've got my first Christmas card done!
So glad you stopped by!
We are having wonderful weather! It would be a wonderful time to go up, up and away in a hot air balloon. Have you ever flown in one? I never have. I would, but I have to confess I would be a little scared!
Isn't this hot air balloon and little bear adorable? Couldn't wait to start coloring when my package arrived from Waffleflower.
I made another fold over card. This one is held closed with the clothespin.
What's inside? Another adorable bear (and bird)!
You may remember that this die from Pretty Pink Posh is my favorite for making clouds. I start my blending tool on top of the cut out and push the color onto my card. I made the clouds with the fold over closed and then opened it and lined up my die cut to match.
Did these cuties make you smile? I can't remember where I picked up the old card. It is a kids birthday card and it is in terrible shape. Luckily, I was able to clean it up enough so that it's printable. You can download the hot air balloon image below.
The actual basket is white, so I colored it with copics, adding a couple of little birds from the Waffleflower stamp set. You know I love plaid and so I created another plaid card with my stencil brush. I used the top two colors in the Color Box palette.
Here's a quick look at the inside.
