Joy!


I had a rummage through my bag of leftovers and scraps to see if I could make something for the challenge at Shopping our Stash. I found a die-cut (Silhouette) bauble with the middle missing and a scrap of card with a background I made with metallic marker pens and water, Also some sentiments - I chose the Joy one because it went with the challenge at Fusion .

I stamped a reindeer ( old magazine freebie) onto the background, put it behind the bauble and trimmed it. I used patterned paper from an Authentique pad and smudged white ink and embosing powder on the edges. I added twine and a bell.

As well as Shopping our Stash and Fusion, I'd like to enter:

    This is the perfect mix of traditional Christmas items and a contemporary look. It really appeals to me. It's well worth to shop ones stash once in awhile...

    The earthy metallic tones really look wonderful here Marina. I love how the tiny reindeer image is centred in the bauble. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

    This is a beautiful rustic holiday card-- would be suitable for a man and/or a woman, plus non-denominational... great card for your stash! I adore the way you smeared ink at the edges. Thanks for sharing at SOS!

    Great card, Marina! I love the unstructured white edging you've given the paper, and love the bold white sentiment. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!

    Well if this is what happens when you rummage through your stash, you should rummage more often! It's absolutely fab! Thanks for playing along at Fusion!
