Base CS is Stardream. I've punched the top part of a square of SEI Velvet using a Martha Stewart Punch. I then stamped onto the Velvet with a 'Just for Fun' rubber stamp (no serial number on stamp) using Versamark ink. I then heat embossed the image with Stamp n Stuff EP (Winter Wonderland) for a lovely snowy sparkle. Next, I edged some gold Stardream CS with the same punch. Stamped a Penny Black image (The Sound of Snow 2800K) with Versamark and embossed with a deep red EP from Sparkle n Sprinkle (Japanese Lacquer). I added round metal disc (Brenda Walton Metal Art), metal owls charm, puffy stars and ribbon. Finally, I placed pearls for snow effect to link the two images.
Thanks so much for having a look see. Have a lovely weekend. Nicola x

How totally cool is this red??? So unexpected and original!!! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a really gorgeous creation and really effective how you picked out the colour of the image with the bells and little stars.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing with us at Penny Black and More challenge, but I'm afraid your entry is not eligible for Stampalot as you combined more challenges than our rules.
