Painted Christmas and Evergreen Elegance for Freshly Made Sketches #512

 Hello, thanks for visiting!

Today's card is for the Freshly Made Sketches #512 Sketch Challenge, (FMS512) from Kim.  I've been challenging myself lately with the technique of distressing card bases and layers.  To me the colouring of this piece of paper looked kind of vintage or aged, so distressing it is, well maybe just slight distressing - I'm learning :)

Assembly & Tix:

*  Distress the edges of the Crumb Cake layer with scissors and adhere to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (glue)  

*  Distress the edges of the DSP and adhere to the Crumb Cake layer.  ***Trix, take care when using the scissors on the DSP, it isn't as heavy as cardstock and it will rip very easily. 

*  Stamp Merry Christmas from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set using Evening Evergreen ink. 

*  Wrap Crumb Cake Bakers Twine around the Soft Sea Foam layer three times at the top and bottom of the layer. ***Trix, apply Stampin' Seal to the back of the layer to wrap and  adhere at the same time.

*  Distress only the sides of the Soft Sea Foam layer and adhere with dimensionals.

*  Stamp then die cut the sprig and red berries, using the Pear Pizzazz and Real Red ink and CS.  Adhere with dimensionals.
