I belong to a local group of stampers and we had our anual Christmas meeting' We all make a gift with our Stampin' Up! products for a gift and then at the party we play Stampin' Santa. It's a lot of fun and there are some awesome gifts.

I had a hard time deciding what to make. Then inspiration struck! I lollie (rosette, medallion or what ever you want to call them) wreat made of ... VELLUM! I hadn't seen one done this way yet and it seemed awsome. I did use vellum cardstock so it woudl be sturdy. I also used lots of shimmer mist, some rhinestones and some silver Glimmer Paper snowflakes. I thought it turned out great!

I hope you enjoyed your visit here. Remember, if I can stamp, you can, too! Now off you go to visit www.stampindragon.blogspot.com for more inspiration.

Carey said...: This is fantastic. You are right that I haven't seen any made with velllum. It is breathtaking and I think it can be used through the winter months. It reminds me of frost and snow. Great job.
