Christmas Carol

I have been busy making Christmas cards, and here is another one...


I used a beautiful retro image that was a freebie from The Graphics Fairy.  I mounted it on a decorative black square.  For the card itself, I started with a white card base and covered it with handmade specialty paper.  I affixed a torn music page (the song is "Silent Night") and added four epoxy stickers.  I stamped the sentiment in black, trimmed, and affixed to the card.  Here are the supplies used:
  • Image:  Described above
  • Sentiment:  All Night Media
  • Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
  • Specialty Paper:  Memory Star
  • Cardstock:  Recollections
  • White Card Base:  Domtar
  • Dies:  Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares
  • Embellishments:  Epoxy stickers (Michaels)
I would like to enter the following challenges:
2 Sisters #156 Favourite Embellishment (for this card it's epoxy stickers) UE
