Merry Little Christmas

Hello, dear readers!

Today I want to share a card using the pretty Christmas tree from Merry Little Christmas stamp set, I also used the Merry Little Christmas coordinating dies.

I had much fun coloring this tree with watercolor brush pens! To add some sparkles to the garland, I covered it with Stickles and also covered decorations with Glossy accents.

For my background  I decided to create a newspaper look using a really sweet sentiment from Happy Ornaments stamp set  and accented the panel with Bokeh Vellum Circles (Soft and Lovely). I adore these tiny vellum pieces as they always add just the right special touch.

The sentiment is also from a Merry Little Christmas stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed today's post.

I also have a question for you.  I'm planning to start making videos for my future posts.  What kind of videos you would like to see?  Maybe you want to see some particular products or techniques? Please let me know in comments below!

Thank you!

November Guest: Julie Ebersole

Happy Friday! I am so excited to have our November guest, Julie Ebersole, here today with her first post for us!  I am such a fan of Julie's style, always carefully crafted and fun! I know you will love  her, but then again,  you probably already do :)

Hello, it’s Julie Ebersole, and I’m so tickled to be guest designing today for Neat and Tangled! For my project today, I couldn’t resist stringing up the Christmas lights from Merry Little Christmas, and with the matching dies, it was super easy to cut them out for extra dimension on my card! Sponging the background makes them seem like they’re glowing!

If you look closely, you can see each of the tiny bulbs have been highlighted with Clear Shimmer Pico Embellisher and I added some dots of Stickles for added sparkle!

Thank you so much, Julie, for spending some time with us today!

See you all back here next week :)
