It's a "Cool Yule" inspiration for this week over at the Jingle Belles Christmas Card challenge blog...
Not the card I wanted to do...
But sometimes life gets in the way of my paper obsession...
...and I did these ones instead...
So, here they are...
And a close up...
Here's what I used...
CS - kraft, white and blue
SU Inks - Ballet Blue and Crumb Cake
1" and 3/4" circle punches
Blue to white variegated crochet cotton
SU Sets - Christmas Punch [58/232]
- Nature's Secret [59/232]
- - - - -
Card Tally for 2011 = 175 [ 72 are for Christmas]
SU Sets used in 2011 = 59/232
I love the wrapped twine - nice effect! Pretty stamping.
