Spirelli Christmas

I haven't used spirelli for a while, so I trotted it out for this card. The green piece with the ornament was actually a leftover snippet. I had stamped/embossed the ornament two times, and when I centered the other for the diecut, there wasn't  enough left to center this one, too. So, I filled the space with some white twine and the spirelli technique.  The sentiment is stamped and matted on snippets as well.

Enteriing this card in these challenges:

Another tag



Here's another tag inspired by the 25 Days of Christmas Tags at Tracey McNeely's blog.  This particular one was inspired by Lindsey Larsen's bold graphic HO Ho HO tag on Day 14.  (Lindsey is with the Concord & Ninth DT)

    That string art technique is fabulous here. I totally balances the Xmas bauble image and looks fab.
    My grandaughter and grandson are making snowflake string art for everyone for Xmas. Their Dad cut wood bases and they are busy "stringing".
    Thanks for taking part in the November Rudolph Days Challenge.
