As I've admitted previously, I'm not really a Clean & Simple (CAS) card-maker, I really enjoy using lots of different techniques and effects on my cards, and this one includes the following (can you spot them all?):
Paper piecing ● Ribbon threading ● Stitching ● Dry Embossing ● Stamping (digital and traditional)● Manual Die Cutting ● Eyelet Setting ● Masking ● Accenting ● Decoupage ● and (of course) Hat Pin Making!
Do you like my bling-tastic ribbon embellishment charm? I've had some glittery Jingle Bells in my stash for ages, and I attached one to the crystal button using jump rings before stitching it to the ribbon bow. I made the hatpins myself and if you'd like to have a go, take a look at my Tutorial on More Decorative Hatpins.
I love to know who's visited my blog, so why not leave a comment and tell me what you think of this card, it would be much appreciated!
