Sparkle's Challenge Week 40 - NOEL

Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by today. This week's challenge at Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge is CAS - one layer only! Hmmm, this one was a little difficult for me, especially since I was trying to play with a few specific Christmas sets that are in the new CTMH Autumn/Winter catalogue. I played around a lot, and this is what I came up with in the end.....


You can't tell from the photo - we've had icky rainy weather here for a couple days now (not complaining, perfect for sneaking in a bit of crafty time!) - but there are stickles on the Holly berries. That little bit of bling really does something for the card. I also used Irredescent Gold Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels on this one and did some sponge ink distressing around the edges. What do you think?

Have a great rest of the weekend! Where I am, Monday is the labour day holiday and then the kiddos are back to school - woohoo!!! We have had a fabulous summer, but Chester and Pickle Pants have spent a great deal of time together and I think it is high time they spend at least part of their day apart - hoping it will reduce all the bickering.......

Cheers,
Shanna :)

p.s. Don't forget to stop by and see what the rest of the DT created, CAS can be so fun!

What I used:
stamps: Vintage Christmas (D1166) and Father Christmas (D1449)
inks: Garnet, Ponderosa Pine, Cocoa - second generation
embellishments: Stickles, stitching, Glimmer Mist
