Our last challenge of this year at Try it on Tuesday is Christmas Sparkle, well who doesn't like sparkle at Christmas!
I've used a very old Artistic Outpost stamp from the Snowy Woods set and just added a little colour to Santa's clothes. lots of sparkly glitter card die cuts and an embossed background, very sparkly, but as usual these don't always show in photographs.
The rest of the DT have been very creative in their 'sparkles' to please pop over to the main blog to see and you'll also find all the challenge details.
I am entering this at We Love Chocolate Baroque - Anything Goes
Country View Challenges - Anything Christmas
Full of busy here, but at least the Christmas cards are all done and just need posting. I've also been making some bits and bobs for the nursery - less than a month to go before 'they' arrive, exciting times ahead.
Have a great day,
Avril xx
Fantastic card.

ReplyDeleteGreat card Avril. Robert Frost is a favorite poet of mine and that quote is one of my favorite lines. Santa does a job ahead of him, especially on skis. Hope all is well and you are having a wonderful December. Hugs-Erika
