Baubles and Bows

Here's another sample using the great new Pears and Baubles stamp set from Chocolate Baroque. There is a fabulous background stamp, following on in the fragments tradition. This one is huge, and is made up of holly and mistletoe. I can see myself using it a lot this year.

I stamped the background stamp several times across the card with Versamark, and embossed the image with gold embossing powder. I coloured the background with Distress Inks, and then spritzed them with water, and a little bit of Perfect Pearls for a bit of shimmer. I stamped two baubles onto green pearlescent card with gold embossing powder, and cut these out. I added some flat backed adhesive pearls and some big blousy bows to finish.

Well, that has helped my Christmas card pile a little bit, and spurred me to make some more. I hope that I have given you a little bit of inspiration as well. Thanks for stopping by, xx
