I love the combination of kraft and pale blue.. there's something so calming about the combination and who couldn't use a bit more 'calm' at this time of year. There's snow and glitter on the swirl chipboard, all is antiqued with Tim Holtz' Tea Dye distress ink, the ribbon is seam binding that I dyed with a copic pen using an air brush. The charm is one that I had in my ever-growing stash.
