I'm back with my project for Visions of Sugarplums, Day 2. Lori has a fabulous group of sponsors this year. You need to start each day with a comment at Chouxchoux Paper Art & then each additional comment along the way gives you another entry for the random drawings. All the details are on Lori's blog.
When I visited family in Indy, my cousin's wife cut 2 Tim Holtz stencils in half to share with me. I sponged with Versamark & gold embossed the beautiful greenery images on a kraft panel.
For more definition, I lightly sponged with Distress Ink vintage sepia & couldn't resist some gold Stickles on the berries. Hard to see the pretty sparkle in the photo.
The Penny Black sentiment is one of my favorites & how do you like my $1 bargain plaid ribbon from Target?! I mounted the panel with fun foam to a card front with a red strip down the left side.
You can also join me in entering the Visions of Sugarplums Christmas/Winter challenge for a chance at the $25 gift certificate to Freckled Fawn. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Edited to add: Also entering Kylie's 12 Days of Christmas Cards.
