Oh, and I have to apologize for the pictures....I had an extremely hard time trying to get a decent photo!
I used chipboard (SU!) for the word "Joy". I painted it first with green acrylic paint and then added some green glitter (SU!) with mono multi glue. The DP is Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses was cut with Labels Eight Nestabilities. I used my new fave Christmas set from Verve, Christmas in the Air. I stamped three of the snowflakes with Memento Tuxedo Black, colored them in with Copics and cut them out with paper snips. I adhered each snowflake with a button tied with twine and then adhered one to each letter. The trees were paper pieced with some more Eskimo Kisses dp. Oh, and the green scallop borders were done with an Eyelet Edge Punch (SU!) The color combo is Scarlet Jewel (PTI), New Leaf (PTI) and Pretty In Pink (SU!)
This is a close up of the letter "J". So sparkly!!
Here is a close up of the "O"....again so sparkly it makes me happy!
And last but not least.....the 'Y"!
