Just A Few Festive Bits

Hello.
Today I've been playing with some festive bits from Conrcord & 9th
I think I'm starting to get the hang of lining up these little, die cuts and not getting glue all over them, my desk, and up my sleeves :o)


I was following the sketch at Freshly Made, and I did try several different backgrounds - patterned paper/embossed paper - I even tried to draw on the shapes with a marker. Nothing seemed to work for me, so in the end I fixed on a white, die cut panel. At least those pierced lines give a little interest.


Challenge



  • concord & 9th - handmade holiday dies
  • concord & 9th - tree topper stamp set
  • waffle flower crafts - piercing lines texture die
  • versafine ink - white embossing powder
