Ornament Card

I read on a blog this morning about how to do this background and had to try it at least once. You crumble your paper up and then spread it out and swipe Distress Ink Pads over the ridges and then spritz with water. All was going really well until I decided that I would add some glimmer mist. It really blurred everything but decided to go ahead an use it anyways. I used the Stampin Up Ornament Punch, and Stampin Up twine. The merry christmas is from the set Christmas Classics by Stampin Up. The three ornaments was ran through the folder Holiday Magic M-Bossibilities folder. Thanks for stopping by. Sharon

This is a stamp from the set Frosty by Stampin Up. It's one of the first sets that I bought and still a favorite. The background was made with the Holiday Magic, M-Bossibilities folder by Spellbinders. The snowman is on Labels Sixteen Dies by Spellbinders. The poinsettia is Layered Poinsettia by Spellbinders. I added a yellow gem in the middle of the poinsettia. Thanks for stopping by. Sharon
