Holy night

   Another Christmas card done! The background paper was printed from a tattered Lace download - I think it was a Halloween one. The digi stamp called holy night is from Lacy Sunshine and after colouring it using Promarkers I fussy cut it, wrapped a sparkly silver ribbon from past packaging round the base and attached it to the card. The sentiment was cut from gold mirri using the Tattered Lace die called contemplation peace. Finally I added some Stickles to the background.

Snow gnomes

   This month the theme for the Dragonfly Dreams challenge is winter and it is being sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy.
   I have a large amount of papers in my stash which I am slowly using and have used two of them here. After matting the star design onto the textured red paper I wrapped some Christmas ribbon round them before matting onto white card. The figures on the digi called Little Snow Gnomes 1 from Fabrika Fantasy were coloured using Promarkers but I used Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens to colour the snow and ice. After matting it on another piece of the textured red paper I added twinkle card candi to each of the corners.
