I wanted to use my Christmas in the Making stamp set again, and I drew inspiration from the Curtain Call challenge to put together a color combo (Pacific Point + Berry Burst + Emerald Envy). The design was based on an old Mojo Monday sketch (#466).
I was looking for a small sentiment to add on my image panel. In the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set, the "from:" sentiment was translated in French to something like "kindly" (sort of). Because it is similar to something we would write at the end of a letter, I thought it was perfect to go with this image. The colon was bothering me, though, and since I knew I would never be using this sentiment with the colon at the end, I made the executive decision of getting the scissors out and cutting it off. As Tim Gunn would say, "Make it work!"
I had initially cut a panel out of Emerald Envy cardstock, but when I spotted an Emerald Envy watercolor wash paper in the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack, I decided to go with that instead, and to overstamp it with snowflakes from the Snowflake Sentiments set to give it interest. I layered ribbons on top (using Dapper Denim ruched ribbon, which was close enough to Pacific Point to work). As I was thinking it was too bad the wooden snowflakes were retired because they would have been great on top of those ribbons, I suddenly remembered the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits set includes two small snowflake dies, so I used those on Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper. Sparkly enamel dots were added on top of the snowflakes.
The Pacific Point cardstock was embossed with the Holly embossing folder.
