Welcome to the first Papertrey Ink group post of October. Designed by Nichole, this sweet and unique new set is filled with nostalgic images and festive sentiments that I love. They speak of Christmases gone by and wonderful, familiar traditions.
Along with the In the Meadow stamp set, coordinating silhouette dies are available making it possible to created depth and dimension....AND then...Nichole has also designed a snowdrift die which enables you to take your project to another level by adding more layering, patterns, glitter, texture, etc.
I created a framed ornament using a resin frame from Melissa Frances . The silhouette die was used as my focal point. It was simply cut from black cardstock and layered on sheet music. The snowdrift die was cut from Vintage Cream cardstock and then coated in Lily White Sugar Coating to add sparkle. The snowflake was die cut from Vintage Cream cardstock as well using the Peace Be Still die collection. It was stamped with a VersaMark Watermark stamp pad and embossed using Jeweled Gold embossing powder.
I created a banner to stamp my sentiment on and edged it with Golden Rod Stickles. Trim and chandelier drops hang from the bottom of the ornament.
Thanks so much for your visit. Here are some lovely sites for you to hop to next:
This is so lovely, Melissa! Just the right amount of glitter and sparkle - lots!
