The flower layers were stamped with PTI's Fresh Snow with Rubbernecker's Script stamp ( which, btw, you can't see but I promise it is there!!) and faux stitching was done around the edges. I didn't do any piercing because I wanted the faux stitching to match the leaves which had the stitching on the stamp. The leaf stamp from Studio 490's set called Ticket to Art was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, cutout, and attached with dimensionals.
The sentiment from PTI's Communique Curves Sentiments was stamped onto the Anna Griffin dp and sewing was done around the edges. The button with twine and Stickles on the flower edges finish it off.

I also just had to make one more Christmas card...the candle image from Rubbernecker was colored with Copics and glitter was added for a little glam. Sewing was done around the edges of the background and stickers were used for the sentiment.
