WMSC #106

 Hi all, I'm getting in early this week for today's new Waltzingmouse sketch Challenge.
I love this sketch, and it's one I will use again. I decided to make a re-start on my Christmas cards. I had all good intentions of keeping up to date with them this year, and not lag behind, but it just hasn't happened.

So today's card is a concerted effort to get some more Christmas  cards done, so be prepared to see some more festive fare from me in the next few weeks!

I have used a white card base, sponged the edges with Antique Linen, and layered some dark green card on top, also distressed with Antique linen.

I created the band in the middle by repeatedly stamping the sentiment Merry & Bright, from Around Christmas Time   in Frayed Burlap. I set this aside, and created a holly wreath background  using the little wreath from the same set,  and the little cross shape from Cameo Creations. I then sponged around the edges, and distressed with my scissors.

I created the two labels with gold embossing powder and three WMS labels, from Very Vintage labels 2 and Around Christmas Time. I layered the sentiment label onto a kraft doily cut using an MFT die.
I added the sentiment to the kraft tag from Frame It!

I tied two little jingle bells together with some peppermint twine from The Ribbon Reel, topped with a red rose.

I added little pearls around the sentiment label...

And some larger ones to the tag to represent the berries.

I love this card! I'm feeling very festive!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
