Just Because....

Good evening all. A second post from me today. Managed to do some crafting this afternoon between the laundry and changing beds.

It's ages since I made a card just because I wanted to!! So when I saw the WOW challenge at OSAAT I decided to make a card. Here is the result:


Decided it needed to be a Christmas card as I'm a bit behind this year. Image is from Sylvie's Stamps at the Stitchy Bear Shop - I've changed the colour in Publisher and used Glamour Dust to glitter it up, then die cut with a labels one die and mounted onto a fancy die. Embossing folders from Cuttlebug. card is finished with ribbon and pearls from my stash.


Challenges entered:
OSAAT - WOW or no DP's
ABC Challenge - J for just as you like

One Stop Craft - anything goes
Christmas Stampin all Year Round - sparkle and shine
Holly Jolly Christmas - white or vanilla + one

    Wow...this card is stunning!

    Love how you explained that you changed the colour etc! I have some digi's stored and haven't a clue how to print them or use them!!! I am never sure if I need to print them on a laser printer or not...I only have inkjet and it smears like crazy if the ink gets damp...Once I get it all figured out I will make a trip to our local copy center and print on their big professional laser machines!

    Oh! WOW! Carol I love both your cards.
    Cant really choose they are both stunning.

    Don`t really know much about the Edinburgh shows. I was always away during the summer so never bothered.
    If you let me know where they are held and when, Hazel and I will try and get to at least one.
    Have a Great Day
