Hi Everyone, sorry I am still behind catching up with your blogs after my holiday but I am rather poorly with two different infections at the moment, but hope to catch up very soon if I haven't already.This
week the challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs is Christmas and I couldn't resist playing along, so this is my DT card for this week, as I love
making Festive cards and getting the Glitter out.
I started by cutting out my paper with the image of Santa
on it, mounting onto green card and I then dropped a little Stickles into the
centre of all the tiny holes around the frame of my Horizon Stacker die.
My sentiment was stamped adding some Stickles and
Distress ink for a Vintage look, layering onto my die cuts with a little
Silicone Glue.
My foliage was cut and curled slightly with my embossing
tool and mat. I then added some red gems to look like berries for added detail.
My Poinsettias were made be shading white card stock with
Distress Stains and a gold Mica spray. Once the card stock was dry I die-cut
out my flowers, shaped on my embossing mat and added some glittered stamens to
the centre.
Thanks for stopping by today, as always your comments are greatly appreciated.

I see you've been on a holiday also. We have been away for almost 4 weeks, so it's a bit hard doing the usual things again. And besides that: it's sooo hot outside, cardmaking is hard working with these tempatures! You did a great job by designing the latest cards. I like them a lot!
