Christmas Recipe

Today at Sparkles Christmas Challenges we begin

our monthly challenge with

DT have created their inspirational cards.

I used a 6" sq. card. Red embossed card to mat

and layer the card and elements.

Papers are from my Christmas stash.

Little Book of Snowmen.

3 red gems and a die cut Christmas gold greeting.

Hello everyone, I hope all is well. Thanks for your visit.

Today at Sparkles Christmas Challenges we have a new

two weekly challenge - #113 Christmas Bells

inspiration by the design team.

My card is a 5 x 7" ivory card.  The mat is gold holographic

card giving that elegant background.

The stamped image onto ivory card is 

'Christmas Bells' by Woodware Stamps.

Coloured with various gold and glitter pens.

It's a shame the sparkle and glitter on the bells 

isn't showing so good.
