Thought I'd share my first Christmas card this year using the 'Hanging Around' stamp set from Clearly Besotted.
I used a pre-prepared C6 card base from Hobby Craft. To create the background pattern I cut some pale blue card stock from Papermill and randomly stamped this with a couple of different snow flake stamps from various sets using Momento Summer Sky Dew Drop Ink.
After die cutting some plain card stock (from Papermill) with a rectangle stitched nesting die I heat embossed the main wreath part. I must admit this took a couple of attempts as I have not done much heat embossing so still getting to grips with it. The first one I over heated so it melted flat into the card stock. Once left to cool, I stamped the ribbon and the images into the bigger baubles (There a 4 options in the set to choose from) with the Summer Sky Dew Drop Ink. The Sentiment was stamped using Bahama Blue Dew Drop Ink so it stood out from the rest of the icy looking card. This whole panel was given dimension with foam adhesive.
Of course I then needed to add a bit of Wink of Stella to the pattern baubles and went over it with Glossy Accents. After adding a few small gem stones the card was finished :)
