Hi guys! Cherry here for a fun GCD Studios post...using the lovely paper collection Joyful Peace. I used 5 of the papers in this collection-The holly and the ivy, Fa la la la la, Comfort and joy, Candy Lane, and Peppermint and also a gorgeous button from the artsy urban line.. I really wanted to run with the whole old world vintage look and decided to add a rosette to one of my cards. You can use an y type of paper...I used crepe paper. You cut a piece (any size you want really depending on card size) about 2 inches x 12 inches long and start gathering it in your fingers till it creates acircle. I take a circle punch and glue it to the back of the rosette to keep it together. You can add glitter to the edges, ink the edges for aging, or spray a bit of glimmer mist for a subtle sparkle....play around and have fun. Another technique I used was buying some mini envelopes(look in the office supply section) and I tea-stained them using tea. I love adding elements like this to cards for something different. Well there you have it give it a try. I guarantee it will get you in the Christmas spirit! hugs, Cherry
