Well what started out as Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, a brayer and glossy cardstock became this...
It kinda took a retro turn. A Tim Holtz Christmas Memories sentiment heat embossed in red. Some stitching. Some flat sequins in green and gold - cuz that's how they wouldda done it in the 50s my brain said. Sometimes I wonder where I come up with this stuff!
I'm going over to the CFC #119 Embossing and the Anything Goes, challenge #200 over at Stampin Royalty too.
Thanks for looking.
Supplies for Merry Christmas:
Paper: cardbase The Paper Studio, glossy paper Aldi
