More pictures of my project, which was one of the gifts I sent my secret sister, Connie:
The metal sentiment tag from Ide-Ologie (TH) and tons of alcohol ink distressing:
More TH metal tags, with this fun ribbon (leaf):
The Creative Embellishment wooden letters also distressed:
The background was created on upcycled metallic cartoon packing, alcohol ink, and an stencil also from TH:
I also used the Bears, reindeer, and leaves ribbon, Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium papers, Ide-Ology embellishments.
I entered this project to:
Graphic 45 Christmas facebook page for the December Challenge.
I was inspired by the red hues and the metallic accents, and of course the warm and fussy feeling.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this project and decide to enter our fun challenge.
Happy New Year
