I have used a spotted paper plus a small tag from a Kaisercraft Christmas paper pad.  The image is from Beccy's Place and has been cut into a tag shape.  I coloured with copic markers and then added a message and faux stitching with a Distress Marker.  I coloured some pearls to match the twine I tied into a bow.

Candy Cane Seasons Greetings

Lots and lots of candy canes!  This paper was perfect to sit behind this image - particularly with the sketch that I was using.

We are mid-way through November!   Which means we are mid-way through the challenge at CHNC Extra for November.

Joy

I had a paper in one of my Christmas paper pads that is a mixture of autumn brights and blues.  When I came across two challenges sponsored by Di's Digis, one was "autumn colours" and the other "Christmas - use some blue", I knew I had to use this paper!  And then I found another challenge sponsored by Di's Digis, that was "fowl of all kinds" and then I had the image sorted!

A Song In Your He{ART} - Let It Go
http://asonginyourart.blogspot.ca/2014/11/a-song-in-your-heart-challenge-20.html

I embossed the background using an embossing folder called Tuscan Tiles.  I used a diffuser to keep the area around the image clear.  The image is from Beccy's Place.  I went over it with a white gel pen to soften the black lines a little.  I added some white pearls around the snowflake.  I also added some narrow white satin ribbon and bow.
