My Time To Craft Christmas no 10 Theme is Fairy Lights starting 21 May 2021

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy-crafty heart got very excited on Wednesday as I found the clipart freebie for this adorable Christmas light bulb caroler! Isn't it the cutest???!!! My Time To Craft Christmas challenge blog's 10th theme is "Fairy Lights" or Christmas tree light strings/strands. I decided to focus on individual light bulb rather than a string of them. This clipart image was absolutely too cute not to use for this theme!!!

MTTCC #10

Fairy Lights in Merry and Bright Christmas card=

Some design and vendor notes to make this card:

a. freebie clip art image was downloaded in order to resize to 'wallet' size and printed on red paper and then on green paper    

b. gold glitter paint pens for the threading portion of each bulb; green glitter paint pen on the red cap and red glitter paint pen on the green cap

c. white colored pencil and a white paint pen were used to add the white accents

d. American Crafts' Good Tidings Thickers provided the "Merry & Bright"

e. Cottage Christmas paper pad from 2018 Fancy Pants Designs is where the patterned cardstock came from

f. diamond cut white glitter paper for corner accents came from a set by Pen + Gear; sold at Wal-Mart

g. dark red 5" x 7" card based with matching envelope were purchased at The Paper Source website
