Happy Holidays!




No Cricut! Gasp!
I had fun trying a new technique; Paper piercing. I stamped the Tag Stamp that had the Xmas tree on some pattern paper then stamped it again on an old Xmas card that had a neat design and then cut out the tree and layered it onto of the fist stamp. I think it would have been easier if I had a larger stamp! This was the largest one I could find!
All my papers are from scrap (Yippee!!)
Martha Stewart twine that I shaded with Distressed Ink
Liquid pearls
Glitter embossing powder
Stickles
