The Ribbon Reel Challenge #17

Morning all, today brings us another challenge from The Ribbon Reel Challenge, and this week it's a theme of Shabby Chic Christmas, using the pictorial inspiration below.




I've made a wine bottle tag, always a handy tag to have at this time of year!




I have silver embossed the bauble from Waltzingmouse Stamps, and distressed with Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans distress inks.



I have mounted the bauble onto some veluum which has been embossed with a Santa and snowflake image, in pearly white, you can just about see peeks of it in the picture above.



The lace, and Peacock Blue seam binding are from The Ribbon reel as is the little Christmas Rose and grey velvet ribbon, which I threaded through the lace.

I am entering this into the following Challenges:

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge

Do You Stack Up

The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop

Stamptacular Sunday

Crafty Catz

Totally Gorjuss

Crafty Emmas Challenge

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
