Christmas!

well I forgot to post this card in early August when I finished it, and while sifting through and sorting out my photos I realised I hadnt, so here you go.

I got some gorgeous papers last month called Swell Noel from K& CO and when I saw one particular sheet in the pack I thought wow this was made for the stamp (or the stamp made for the paper!) which I found on ebay last year and hadnt cleaned up to use yet (it was used)
So, I dug that out stamp and in the end was pleased with the result and how the nested frames from the spellbinders lables came out too. the snowflakes are cut with the cuttlebug 3 flakes on one die, and I added pearls and stickles to finish

The image is coloured with twinkling H2O's as of course it had to be glittery, and I think they work well on this card rather than the other colouring techniques!


The sentiment is stamped and embossed with white embossing powder from purple gerbil (see right had link on my blog to their ebay shop)
