Hello All – Back again with the December edition of Sparkles Monthly Challenge and this time we’d like to see you use your favourite Christmas colours.
We have two sponsors again this month, first up is a bundle of digi stamps from DeeDee’s Designs
And we also have a stamp set from
My favourite colours for Christmas cards are red and turquoise, but oddly enough, you won’t find anything in this colour scheme in my house at any time of the year, and I’m very traditional when it comes to my Christmas decorations too. But I do love this combo, especially on a card.
I used a LOTV stamp called Squirrel Snack, I got it last Christmas but this is it’s first outing! I coloured it with Prisma pencils and added Stickles Crystal Glitter to the snowbank, coloured the sock, blue spruce branches, hair bow and stripey mitts with a Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen; and finally, added Glossy Accents to her glasses. That all shows up better in the next photo.
The papers are offcuts of digi papers, the stamping card is from GinaK, the blue backing card is from the scrap box and everything was edged with Tim Holtz ink in Festive Berries.
The die is Memory Box and it was also cut out of scrap card. The sentiment was free with a UK card magazine eons ago, it was stamped in Versmagic Red Magic ink and cut out. The little bow came form a package of stationery and there is one tiny red gem on the sentiment to make it look like a tag.
So, only 10 days til the big day, are you ready??!
