This is my one and only mistletoe stamp. :) I stamped it twice and heat embossed in white. Then I sponged with Broken China DOX inks. I sprayed a little water and blotted to create a bit of visual texture to the background. I die-cut into a circle and then coloured the leaves with a green zig brush. I added some Dazzling Details glitter glue over the leaves, half pearls for the berries, and two small bows from silver cording. The circle is popped up to give the card a bit of dimension.
Here's a close up:
A simple card that seemed to take forever to come together. It happens sometimes. :)
Thanks for the fun challenge Colleen! The challenge is open until Sunday, so there's still lots of time to play along.
And I'm playing along again this month at Rudolph Days, run by the lovely Maureen (Scraps of Life by Scrappymo!)! Two months in a row ... maybe it will become a habit. I hope so! :)

So beautiful and elegant, Loll. So glad you joined us this week at Merry Monday.
ReplyDeleteWith this mistletoe, you don't need any more! This is so pretty with the sponged background and the impossibly, tiny bows!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful design, Loll! Love the soft pastel background. Your holly leaves are just beautiful with that glitter. Love this idea. It looks particularly great with the white embossing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Loll. I love the blue background with the simple sprigs of mistletoe. So, so pretty. I've had the feeling that I need to start my Christmas cards and now with this great inspiration I may actually have to get going. TFS.
ReplyDeleteI love your sweet heat embossed and Zig colored mistletoe, Loll. Adding your DOX soft and chalky looking sky background really sets off your mistletoe. Wonderful bows and pearl berry embellishments too. TFS My friend. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteJust love your delicate mistletoe sprigs in the blue circle, Loll - so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you can take your one mistletoe stamp and turn it into a shimmering CASlicious delight like this, you don't need more than one, Lolly! The circle frame is perfect!! Hugs, Dolly
