I've got a lovely long day of crafting all to myself today so I've been hopping around to see which challenges to play in and decided to combine two to begin with - the waltzingmouse sketch http://waltzingmousesketchchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/challenge-93april-14-2012.html along with this week's Christmas card challenge over at 52 christmas card throwdown which is a green and white colour challenge http://52cct.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/colour-challenge-4.html
I went for my favourite stamp from the festive foliage set and stamped it onto green dp to paperpiece it onto the white circle onto which I hand drew a dark green line. I added 3 pearls to be the berries on the mistletoe and dotted each with some green stickles to add the detail back in from the stamp. DP is from My Minds Eye Be Merry and the bottom strip was embossed using a sizzix folder. To allude to the scalloped edge on the sketch, I tied 4 knots in a strip of green ribbon and finished with a matching sentiment from the same set.
I'll be back later with more challenges hopefully.
What a wonderful take on the sketch - love the mistletoe and your beautiful embossing!
