First Christmas Blog Hop

Welcome to our "First Christmas" Blog Hop!

Today I used Asela's gingerbread pair to make a cookie wreath. I placed a circle die on my paper to use as a guide on my white CS and then stamped the image 5 times around it leaving a space at the bottom for my bow. After coloring, adding shadows with W-1 Warm Gray Copic and outlining the white piping with a Sakura Clear Glaze Pen, I cut loosely around the outline of the cookies. Next I took a small rectangle punch to make two slits in between each pair to thread my polka dotted ribbon through, I chose this one to go with the little white dots on the cookies. The bow is separate and attached with a glue dot. I stamped "Festive Frame" onto DP, this print has such a homey feel, and colored my borders in tan to match the cookies. Wreath is attached with pop dots, completely covering the oval border, and card base is Pure Luxury White.
