I am pretty sure this is my 17th link up to LeighSB's Christmas in July - I am trying to add something for each of the 24 days...

Today I was just playing... a few more ATCoins...

The backs are Leigh's freebie  - or just a circle of watercolour paper that I could write on.

I placed these on orange circles. Not a traditional Christmassy colour but you will see why I chose orange later...

The first layer was watercolour paper with Brushos through a star stencil, made with my Cricut, spritzed with water..

I then added Stampin Up's Paisley Christmas tree in black Versafine - then I decided to use gold embossing powder with the tree on the other two.

 Next, scattered twigs Distress Ink around the edges.

 

 Next I added an assortment of embellishments - just a few bits and bobs I had lying around my desk. The holly leaves add a bit of dimension as they can be glued so that they stand up...

I will add these to Leigh's Linky. 

Happy Crafting!
