And now for my project:

I created this 3x6" Christmas Card using the Mistletoe papers and Captured Moments stamp set from Close to my Heart. The card design is Name Plate from the Wishes Book by Jeanette Lynton. The edges of the papers are brushed with New England Ivy ink. The images are stamped with Chocolate and New Ingland Ivy inks. The card is embellished with Chocolate Grossgrain ribbon and Opaque Adhesive Pearls.
