Putting It Together

My desk got to that level of creative mess that I needed to spend some time this morning cleaning it. While tidying and organising (and recovering table space!), I ran into a piece left over from a card a made a few weeks ago, A lovely snowy village scene.

It set the wheels a whirling in my head which was already pondering a sketch layout from Freshly Made Sketches.

I cut down the scene piece to a tag-like panel. I silver embossed a Kaisercraft sentiment that matched the mood of the piece and matted it with green glitter card stock. I had also lightly blended Tumble Glass to the edges of the scene.

I also embossed a snowflake button with sparkly white powder. I used tweezers to hold the button while I squished it on the Versamark pad, into the embossing powder, and then while heating it up to melt the embossing.

I mounted the tag panel on a background also from the Sugar Plum pad. I added pink cord to the button and a pink sheer ribbon.
