The
background was created by using a poinsettia embossing folder on heavy. The image is Snow Goddess, embossed in gold
on vellum and colored with markers. I
cut her out with a die cut and layered her on white cardstock cut out with one
of the new Nesting Doily Square Dies that Sparkle N Sprinkle is now carrying. I can never have too many dies. Make sure you check here to see more new
dies.
The
sentiment is A Little Smile, die cut with Spellbinders’ Heirloom Ornament die, and
some lovely die cut poinsettias added.
To
create the sparkly ribbon, I came up with a fun technique. I
simply covered both sides of ¼” Tear-ific” Tape with Gypsy Red Velvet Glitter
and actually tied it in a bow. Head on
over to my post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog to get all the details.
Have
a wonderful week,
E. Marie
