'Tis the season for Tinsel


Not that I really need any excuse to embellish 'over the top', Christmas is the perfect season to decorate not only your tree, but your handmade cards too!

Making a feature of Meg's Cut & Create Christmas holly images, plus layer upon layer of the beautiful damask papers, I created another special Christmas card.


Comprising of 3 damask layers built up with mounting tape, I did not hold back using the many detailed holly images, placing them at each level.


For a touch of shabby, I heavily inked and distressed the edges and included pieces of muslin on each layer.


Atop the damask layers is a beautifully vintage Christmas sentiment, again from the ever versatile Cut & Create sheets. 


The finishing over the top element is definitely the silver tinsel! Not only adding the wow factor, but texture and fun.

Meg Garden has all the perfect papers and embellishments to let our creativity shine. 

There are no rules with tinsel, no one ever said it belongs only on our Christmas tree! 
Have some fun and create something extra special this festive season.
