I had a blast playing with this design! I started with Basic Grey Fruitcake papers...deck the halls,vintage ornaments, and stained glass. I cut elements from each one and off I went. :0}.
I had gotten the bottom two Christmas stamps at a local haunt, but alas they are unmarked, the top one is an unmounted from River City Rubber. I embossed the ornaments in Versamark with clear ep, popped them on foam. I pierced the tops and cut slivers of paper to weave through. a couple I left flat to add to the visual interest. I capped the ornaments off with copper German scrap as well as add it to my border. The cs is unknown from my stash (being a very good girl, Santa DH). The background is Crosshatch in Tim Holtz Shabby Shutter. Thanks for looking!

Very pretty and very creative! I love those ornaments on the pine branch. The crosshatch stamped on the textured cs looks great and that layered border is very cool.
