The pink paper was done with my varnished alcohol technique and you can find the instructions for that here. The poinsettia stamp is from Gina K Designs and the sentiment is from PTI. I stamped the poinsettia in versamark and embossed with gold detail embossing powder. I cut two of them out and positioned them onto the square off center and overlapping just a bit. I used a versamark pen and a ruler to create the gold border on the layer in back. I added a couple of gold self adhesive pearls to each end to bling it up a bit more.
Then I made a box to hold some note paper, nuggets and four tea lights. You can see all the goodies with the addition of a piece of acetate in the box top!
Under the blue paper on the left is a note pad that I made from copy paper. I cut a bunch of it to 3 x 3 and then glued them together with rubber cement. Used a few binder clips to hold it all together while it dried. Using versamark, I stamped the snowflakes randomly on the blue (enchanted evening - PTI) cardstock and embossed them with detail glacier white embossing powder.
Wrapped up three Hersey's Chocolate Nuggets using the same snowflake stamp and added them into the box since they fit so well between the dividers! You can find all kinds of Nugget boxes and instructions at SCS.
So what do you think of my last couple of projects? I would love to hear your feedback!
I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
