season's tweetings

we're still rockin' with the robins, prancin' with the penguins or possibly even attending a flamingo fiesta this fortnight at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and you still have until wednesday evening to join the fun, which we hope you will! here's what i made this week:

patterned papers, distressing tool and frosty poinsettia: prima marketing; border punches: recollections; washi tape: october afternoon; pinecone stickers: bo bunny; velvet leaves: petaloo; adhesives: elmers brand taperunner, 3m foam tape, gluedots, sewing machine

yes, i've gone very distressed and shabby chic, with papers from prima's "santa baby" and "sweet peppermint" collections, not to mention that lusciously frosted, dimensional poinsettia! i've added in a washi tape sentiment, a few punched borders, velvetty leaves and ancient clear pinecone stickers. at the very end, i felt like there was not enough of the darker red from the flower to anchor the design, so i slipped in a burgundy mat before adding lots (and lots!) of machine stitching.

there miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight be a little prize this time; and i know for sure that stephanie has made an awesome card... so you should probably hop over to ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ right now, darlings!
