2 takes on Christmas

 

I stamped the nordic pattern using wisteria wonder ink, and then cut out the banners.  The thin pattern is from the same stamp set and was stamped in black.  Having cut the bauble die out I stamped the sentiment and added the twine.  The kraft cardstock was popped onto 3d pads and attached to the card blank.

Having coloured the image in using my pens, I added chunky white embossing powder, stickles, glamour dust and pearl pen to create a sparkly, snowy background.  I distressed the edges of the papers and cardstock, before adding lace, ribbon and flowers.  Finally I stamped and cut out the tags.
