I used the Christmas branch from Easy Events to stamp my mistletoe on the tag and embellished with Basic Pearls - I love the lustre on these! The leaves were coloured in with a Gumball Green marker
The tag was tied up with Cherry Cobbler seam binding, before mounting with dimensionals onto a panel embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.
The eight diverse images in this set come with sentiments attached but I cut mine apart and mounted them on the edge of the block so that they're even more versatile. On this card though, I opted to use my current favourite sentiment from Happy Hour.
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Card stock: Whisper White
Stamps: Easy Events, Happy Hour
Ink: Real Red, Always Artichoke classic inks and a Gumball Green marker
Other: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Big Shot, Basic Pearls, Snowflake Season Simply Scrappin' kit, Cherry Cobbler seam binding

I was curious about the tradition of kissing under the mistletoe so I looked it up. Did you know that when a couple kiss they should take one of the berries off the bunch and that when all the berries have gone it's supposed to be bad luck to do any more kissing?! We've never used mistletoe as a decoration as I've never seen it growing wild around here; we stick to holly and ivy instead, and we certainly don't need a bunch of leaves as an excuse for a kiss!
See you tomorrow!
So pretty Vicky, what a beautiful card!

Pearls make perfect mistletoe berries, don't they? We like in Mistletoe county - it's everwhere, on every apple tree you see My husband takes lots up to Birmingham to give out to his colleagues to spread a little Christmas cheer- I suspect we are robbing someone of some profit!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Vicky - love the pearls as berries. Hugs, Di xx
