With Christmas right around the corner, I'm thinking I need to
speed up on those Christmas cards.
I thought Christmas.
I used a stencil from Memory Box with some embossing paste.
By adding some Dazzling Diamonds before removing the stencil,
the "snowflakes" sparkle.
I die cut some Poppystamps Pine Sprigs from mixed media scraps
and added some Gansai Tambi watercolor.
The "berries" add more dots.
Another Christmas card for the stash!
Speaking of Christmas cards, it's that time of the month for
