Village Church at Christmastime

My Tim Holtz Village Dwelling love continues! In case you missed it, I completed a huge Halloween Village project last month and now I'm turning my attention to Christmas projects. I made a little old fashioned country church scene for a crystal base I found at the thrift store. The church lifts off so you can put a battery tea light underneath.


I used heavyweight card stock for the structure of the house and then used the Notebook embossing folder to make "siding" pieces to go on all the walls. All the dies are from Tim Holtz's Village Die series.


The windows are scrap plastic colored with alcohol ink and coated with Stickles Rock Candy for extra sparkle.


I love the look of the light inside! Use a battery powered tea light.


Thanks for stopping by! I'm entering this into the Timeworn challenge on the Frilly & Funkie blog. Churches like this one are certainly from a by-gone era. =)

    1. hello, they are easy to find, especially around the holidays. I think this one was probably a Tim Holtz tree which come in a natural color and then you can dye them the color you want. You can also check places like etsy and ebay to find hand dyed trees.
