Take a Present

I've used another Nellie Snellen image today called Take a Present, and I've used my new Magnolia Papers.  I really love the soft pink and didn't want to matt it onto dark pink papers, so I matted it onto white and inked the edges to give it some definition.

I cut out a square and layered it, stitching around the edge, before sticking it back down again.  I also stitched around the image.

The sentiment was typed and then inked over with a pink Stardust gel pen and cut out using a notables die.

Take a Present

Today's card features one of my favourite Christmas stamps from Nellie Snellen, Take a Present.  I just love this sweet image.  I've used a festive red and green colour scheme to match the lovely Wild Rose Studio papers, and added just a couple of dies, a large snowflake and also a sentiment die.  The red satin ribbon and white lace seem to complement each other, as the red twine and white snowflake do too.

The summer sale is in full swing at The Stamp Basket, so po over to grab a bargain and stock up on your Christmassy items ready for the festive crafting season.
