Base is The Paper Company Pastel Green to complement the pearls & ribbon color. Next layer is Krafty Christmas cardstock.
Used Kraft cardstock for left strip embossed with Cuttlebug Winter Border and using VersaMark added Stamp N Plus Stardust Chalk for snow glitter look.
Right side layer is white core'dinations cardstock run thru Fiskars Paper Crimper. Right side layer embossed with Tim Holtz Snow Flurries embossing folder, sanded & edges hand torn.
Sentiment "Tis the Season" is Christmas Crafts Christmas Words stamped with Memento Lady Bug ink. Tested stamping on scrap piece of crimped paper since I did not want to mess up the card. Pleased with stamped sentiment on the crimped cardstock.
New is the Martha Stewart pastel green snowflake ribbon. Added 2 pastel green pearls near sentiment.
