Hello
my lovely friends and visitors, I hope your week is going well. I
had so much fun creating a card similar to this last month that I
decided to do it again and here it is …
An A6 card
Great for posting
A final look
Created for me and especially
for these Challenges
Christmas
Cards All Year Round Challenge
December
Anything Goes
Country
View Crafts Challenge Christmas
Once
again I didn’t capture the sparkle on this card, typically it
appears that I can manage it some of the time but not all of it. I
created this exactly in the same way as I did the one on the 15th
November which you can see here. I stamped and heat embossed the image onto white Sheena card and
then applied a layer of clean water. Once I had done that I used the
Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to colour the card.
I
deliberately kept this card simple as it is one that is going to be
posted. I am happy with it, once again, even though the colours
aren’t what is considered normal for Christmas but the one thing
I’ve always prided myself on is not being normal or usual lol! In
fact as I often remind my lovely hubby I am special and he needs to
remember it! It is so pretty and I really wish I could have captured
that shimmer. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and
comment. I really do appreciate it and I hope you get some time to
do what you love to do soon ttfn Karen x
