This is my offering for Glenda’s Christmas challenge.
I stamped and embossed (using Sparkle & Sprinkle Peacock embossing powder) the image onto vellum and mounted 4 decoupaged layers onto white hammer card. This was mounted onto an A5 card blank, made from white hammer card printed on both sides from the Artylicious Season’s Greetings CDs. I have added a vellum insert, and embellished with pastel self adhesive pearls and a white tassel.

That’s beautiful and a lovely way to use a non christmas stamp on a christmas card. Thank you for entering the challenge.

Oh that’s lovely, so elegant. I have never tried printing Glenda’s CD’s onto hammer card, must give that a try some time soon – thanks for a great idea!
