I was fortunately to get a copy of the instructions from a good friend who attended, so have been playing with the design and techniques. One of the techniques is to lightly dauber Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint to add sparkle and shine. Here I have sponged it onto the stamped flower...

This design and the Creative Elements stamp set were the inspiration for the Creative Elements Desktop Calendar we made in the December Workshops...

Plus I made two more things using this gorgeous design. Firstly I covered a number of diaries to give as gifts for Christmas...

The detail on the Early Espresso cover is a little hard to see in this photo as the plastic cover makes it hard to photograph. I stamped the border and florish from the Creative Elements stamp set in Early Espresso, which made a lovely frame and background.

The second item was this cute little card, which I made as thank you cards for all those who placed an order in December...

I hope you had a great Christmas and are having and enjoyable holiday.
