I knew that I HAD to use this fantastic Merry & Type ornament image, so I stamped it with Craft Early Espresso onto watercolor paper and clear embossed it. I used SU markers and an Aquapainter to color it and layered it on two strips of scalloped Old Olive cs. This panel was layered on Letters to Santa dsp (LOVE IT!) and adhered to an Early Espresso card base. I added another piece of Letters to Santa dsp across the top and hid the seam with some Old Olive Satin Ribbon. I used my Big Shot and oval Designer Frames Embossing Folder on watercolor paper, washed it with Marina Mist ink and, after it was dry, I stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso ink. It's adhered to the card with Dimensionals. I embellishment this sentiment oval and one of the ornaments with pearls.
