Christmas Teardrop


This week on the team from Bah Humbug want us to make a card using 'Fancy Folds'. I've chosen to make a card from the teardrop template which I've had for ages and only used a couple of tiimes.
The flower is cut from a nestie die, each layer coloured with Fired Brick Distress ink and then edged with gold glitter. The swirly leaf stamp behind it is a Clarity stamp. I've punched a matt from some red mirri card and added a sentiment from a U Mount Christmas set. It's finished off with a few red gems.
Thanks very much for visiting.

I love this Beryl. Most unusual and very striking indeed. Guess you need to dust the template off and use it a lot more. Your medallion is perfect for the design.
