I purchased beautiful Mintay papers earlier this fall and I realized I had not gotten around to using them just yet. I pulled them out and I let the beautiful patterns be the starting point of my card. I decided to layer the branch and mailbox over one of the frames, and add a poinsettia image as well. I picked a sentiment that says "Vive le vent," the French version of the jingle bells song, that was just the right size for the frame and I stamped it in Pretty Peacock ink. I layered a piece of Soft Sky cardstock behind, dry embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder, and I dry brushed White Frost glimmer paint over it. While the paint was out, I added some to the edges of the knit patterned paper as well.
I tied a piece of natural ribbon and hung two jingle bells to the knot - a rose red one and a mini silver one, using my beloved metallic thread from Altenew. I added a couple pieces of chipboard and I framed my sentiments with Ivory Seashell crystal dots. I also added Fresh Snowfall glitter accents to the snowflake and the branches, and a few Wonderful Gems to the center of the poinsettia and to frame the sentiment.
I made a matching envelope out of cardstock, with another frame die-cut for the address block and more Crystal Drops and Glitter Accents.
