joy...12 tags of Christmas

Hey there

I decided to play along with the

  12 tags of Christmas with a feminine twist challenge 

over at Ellen Hutson

I was inspired by Julie's tag

I loved the watercolor effect and I love that laurel wreath die!!

I heat embossed the laurel wreath with WOW ultra high gold embossing powder

I love the effect of this powder!!

I used a faint watercolour effect in my background ..

I love aqua and gold together!
