I saw some fabulous Christmas stamps by Jayne Nestorenko in one of my craft magazines the other day so I popped over to her website and had a quick look - needless to say one or two stamps and some traditional decoupage sheets fell into my basket. They arrived within a couple of days and this is a card I have made with one of the decoupage sheets.
The decoupage sheets are really good quality but a little fiddly to cut out, there are six layers in total. I embossed the white card stock with my Embossalicious Chevrons embossing folder using an embossing diffuser that I made myself before layering it onto some Kraft card stock. The sentiment was part of the decoupage sheet and the string is from my stash.
This photograph shows the decoupage layers a little better.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

How lovely that embossing folder is, Pauline! The difuser did a wonderful job with that pretty pattern for the lovely decoupage foliage ball! Beautiful with that tiny twine!
