To celebrate our new release, the DT are holding a blog hop today and are sharing creations made with some of the brand new Elisabeth Bell, Time For Tea Designs and Raindrop Echo Designs stamps! The blog hop has a prize of 2 new release stamps hidden somewhere along the way and you have 24hrs to enter each prize draw!

So On to my project:

I used the lovely NEW Under the Mistletoe Girl and Under The Misteltoe Boy Stamps today for my first holiday presentation card! They were masked just at the mistletoe to appear that they both want the other to kiss! They are just too darling! I went outside of my comfort zone and created a holiday card in light muted colors and a Shabby Chic feel. Loads of embossing enamel was used inside the image area to envelope around the two love birds for a romantic touch. Also, I think I'm in love with the little chipboard hearts too, they have color ready spots in them you can add a touch of color to to match your projects as you can see with the green lines through them! Aren't they fabby? Hope you enjoy!

Don't forget, we are now carrying a large variety of mulberry flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. Get all your favorite ribbons and mulberry flowers in one place!
Here is my project today:

I thought It would be terribly fun to alter a wooden frame from Hobby Lobby with some torn papers that were decoupaged onto the frame and then I decided to emboss some texture and sparkles onto the frame as well. I added one of my favorite stamp images from the New stamp designer Time 4 Tea and some gorgeous ribbon from the September Autumn ribbon collection from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Club.

The little lovely is my eldest and because her birthday is in October, this was a perfect Autumn design for a gift in her new home.
