Used a Spellbinders embossing folder and a piece of Tim Holtz Kraft-Core core'dinations cardstock for the wreath and then lightly sanded it to bring out the kraft color. For my bow, I dyed a piece of seam binding ribbon with Soft Suede re-inker and some water (so it wouldn't be so dark), and then tied it up with some gold cord, jingle bells, a tiny tag, and some twine. I also added a few champagne colored pearls to the wreath and tag to add a bit of bling. This was actually a pretty easy card to do, and I really like how shabby vintage, but elegant it turned out! :0)
