Another design team project for our bi-weekly challenge over at DS4J's challenge blog. The theme for Challenge No.77 is USE A RECYCLED ITEM plus ADD A SNOWFLAKE. Our talented design team member, Elenor is hosting this challenge. Thanks Elenor for choosing this awesome theme for us this fortnight.
Another centre step design. I have used the JOY and PEACE sentiment from DigiStamps4Joy and you can find it here. I have also used the CHRISTMAS ROBIN digi from which I have cropped a holly branch in Photoshop and printed it a few times for the embellishments, and you can find it here.
The embellishments and sentiment have been coloured with Copics and dry chalks. The design papers are from BasicGrey and are off-cuts from previous projects. The snowflakes and brads are from my stash.
