Day 23 - "U"

Under the mistletoe is the place to be at Christmas! I've used the mistletoe image from the Tied Up With String set, layered twice for a fuller, more luxurious look. Although you can't see it from this angle, I also applied some Wink of Stella to the berries for a hint of sparkle.

I was sure it was going to be another non-Alphabet day today. You are sure keeping us on our toes this year!
Love the mistletoe in that colour scheme and that die-cut frames it beautifully.

I love mistletoe! Think the shape of their leaves together with the berries are so pretty. You have coloured the image so pretty and I really love all the different shades of green and brown.

Who doesn't like to get caught under the mistletoe. I definitely have to teach the kids that fun tradition because Grammy loves to steal kisses. Arthur calls them "zerberts" and even asks me for them. LOL! Beautiful card. Love that ornate frame and so Lovely with the textured white background. Love the idea to layer the mistletoe twice. I'll have to try that.
