Happy Christmas!
It is my turn to share my second project for Country View Craft challenges for December where we are focussing on a Nostalgic Christmas.
My background was created with Iced Spruce and brushed pewter distress stains - it is far more sparkly than the photo shows. I stamped my images and got to work on my holly and berries. I had die cut the holly onto white card and began altering with various green paints before adding some crackle paint. The berries were painted red and crackle accents added.
My stars were painted with iced spruce DP before being given the crackle treatment as well. My sentiment is a remnant rub.
Once again I wish you all a wonderful day.
