One More Sleep!

Well it's nearly here, just one more sleep! so just a quick post to show you the card I made for my in-laws. I have to say that this card is one of my favourite Christmas makes this year, my other fave was the Magnum and Christmas tree card that I dedicated to the Lovely Ladybugs!

Here's the close up of the Holly that I promised you yesterday,I just scored and shaped it,added some gold pen around the edges and some gold Luster rub on which is  a bit like cream eye shadow.


The image is one of Gayle Bond's along with the sentiment from a forever friends set of stamps. I hand cut the tiny tags and stamped with Dove Craft family stamps.


I stamped the inside of the card too with a snowflake stamp.



I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Alphabet Challenge,W, White Christmas,
CCC2,Christmas,
DD23,Tags,
Delicious Doodles,Anything goes,
FWSAM99,Frame it,
Stampin for the Weekend 23, Anything goes,
SWTD, Let it snow.
Whatever you are up to tomorrow,I hope you have a wonderful day,
Thanks for stopping by,
Julie.x
