Supplies: TAWS ornament & sentiment freebies; Cuttlebug embossing folder; Bic markers; Liquid Pearls; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; PS black twine; gold sparkle EP; Versamark; classic small circle Nesties; distress inks in Fired Brick, Barn Door, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed.
This is another background made using the Faux Patina technique. The folder was inked with Spiced Marmalade before embossing the white cardstock. I then sponged the other colours of distress ink over that, and embossed with the gold sparkle powder.
The ornaments were coloured by sponging on Barn Door & Spiced Marmalade distress inks, and the 'hangers' were coloured with a gold Bic marker & then paper-pieced. I doodled on the ornaments with Liquid Pearls, and once that dried I coated them with a thick layer of Dimensional Magic. The twine is taped to the back of each ornament & then wrapped around the main panel, and a little bow tied on each.
Look at all that luscious sparkle!
I'm entering this in a couple new-to-me challenges:

ALBC: Sparkle & Shine (month of November)
Paper Playtime: Sparkle (Nov. 24)
