Making a start for the New Year

I won this gorgeous Asian Artistry set, and couldn't wait to try it out.
I stamped the bird on to white card, and laid it on the mauve. I had this lovely piece of velvet ribbon which blended nicely, stamped the saying (from the same set) at  the bottom, and finished off with 3 'gems'

Best project for 2010

Cuttlebug embossing

I just love this Christmas tree folder - I have used it with vellum and lightly coloured the raised surface. I attached it to my card with peel off photo corners, which I coloured to match and also added some small gems to decorate the tree
