Mistletoe and Wine

Grrrr, that song, it's one we all say we hate, isn't it? Yet when it's playing in the shops in the run up to Christmas (so that's mid September onwards  in some shops) we always end up humming along. Or is that just me?

Anyway, it was obviously the inspiration for one of the sentiments in this gorgeous set of Clearly Besotted "Drink and be Merry" stamps that I won in the Playground. I promised Di that they would make their first appearance on a Snippets card and here they are.....

I used a very old Cuttlebug die - I think it actually came with my very first die cutting machine - to cut the squares from snippets of a set of Christmas papers that came with a craft magazine a few years ago.

Then I stamped the  ultra-cute drinks on to heavy duty watercolour paper and used watercolour pencils and my finest water brush to colour them. I fussy cut them - yes, even the hole in the wreath (well, actually I cheated a bit and used the Cropadile to cut that one)  and then attached them to the squares with 3-D adhesive.
