After my week-long tumultuous affair with CAS, I'm itchin' for some stitchin'. Back in my comfort zone, I made this Christmas card using all my fave toys. It felt good....I needed a good ol' scratch! Aaah!
 |
| The papers are by Papermania "Lincoln Linen". The stamp is from Chocolate Baroque's "Christmas Song" set, stamped with Memento Espresso Truffle. |
 |
| I coloured the bird with Promarkers and Caran d'Ache pencils. Actually, I stamped him twice and did some decoupaging. Then I applied lashing of Startdust Stickles on the branches ... and dotted Liquid Pearls all over....and some bling on those ornaments. Not to forget, I stitched and inked the edges of all layers with TH's Vintage Photo. PS - Sheer ribbon tied in a bow .... Yesssss, I'm back, baby! |
 |
| More stitching and inking on the inside. The greeting is from WMS's Compliments of the Season set. |
