I have been keeping my Silhouette Cameo busy and made this Cracker using one of their downloads :-)



I cut it out of plain white Neenah, I stamped snowflakes using versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I then coloured with Festive Berries Distress Ink from the Winter Seasonal set and sprayed with Studio Calico Shine ,,, so pretty and shimmery IRL :-) The label was printed and cut out on the Silhouette too and I added some red hemptique twine, white swiss dots ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and added 2 prima roses, sprayed with a R27 copic marker, and added a few gems to finish.

Thanks for looking, the DT have made some gorgeous creations so please hop on over to the challenge blog to see them :-)
