It's time for a new challenge at Stamping Sensations and this month we'd like to see either Garlands, Wreaths and/or Christmas Flowers, so lots of scope and a chance to get ahead with the Christmas cards.
We've got Chocolate Baroque as our sponsors this month and they are offering this fabulous stamp plate as a prize.
I've used a very old Lili of the Valley stamp for my card, I also stamped extra baubles with gold and heat embossed before adding colour with Twinkling H2O's, adding these with 3D foam pads. I then matted onto some red mirri card, but this proved to be a nightmare to photograph! and the grey skies we've had didn't help no matter how hard I tried!! Getting the baubles to sparkle only resulted in a pink card!

A beautifully traditional feel to this one Avril and I can but imagine the lovely sparkle from the Twinkling H2O's along with gold embossing.
