Hello, friends! Nicole here with another layout I created using the Together Collection. I've used this beautiful collection for several projects so I'm getting low on embellishments...so I decided to pull the embellishments aside that would work with the photo. :)

I fussy cut the ornament banner from a journaling card t cover up a mistake. I accidentally smeared the black ink and I did not like it!! But I was able to cover it up with the ornaments.

I cut some of the elements from the die cuts to use as embellishments. I think I pulled this layout together nicely without overdoing it.

I stamped the "today was magic" sentiment on the label in gray ink. Next, I fussy cut the candle and houses from die die cuts and mounted them on the layout using foam squares to add dimension.

Initially, I did not include the stencil, but I thought it was a little boring...so I used a stencil and green ink to add the knitted background by carefully blending through the stencil around the pictures and embellishments. I stamped the snowflakes, too. I used a pencil to tap on the tiny brush with black ink to add a nice inky background.
