Congrats, Wendy! Love your gallery and you have so much to choose from. I finally picked Merry & Bright to case. I kept the holiday theme and general layout. I changed the CB folder, used an ornament instead of the sentiment and moved it to the center and added the sentiment below.
The ornament (B/S) was white embossed on the b.blue c/s and I used a nestie circle but cut around the top of the ornament and inserted it under the nestie circle to avoid cutting it. I added a little shading w/ a lt blue marker and liquid pearl dots. It's layered on yet another medallion I made a few days ago that I sponged the edges w/ the center blue on the Kpad and attached to a larger circle I cut out of med blue (DWV) w/ the mini scallop scissors.
The snowflake bg is actually a large paint chip I had embossed a while back. I lightly brayered over the top w/ white pigment ink and embossed w/ white ep. It's attached to a large med blue card. I added the ribbon, the white embossed sentiment (SG) and some more liquid pearls in the corners. TFL

Julie, girl! This is so over-the-top gorgeous! I love every detail...from the tiny scalloped mat to the bugged bg that is very rich in depth. This one's outta the park...!
