May Your Season Sparkle

Fun color combo and lots of textures on this card.  I used Fresh Fig for the card base with a layer of Champagne Foil Sheet, added some swirl designer paper, striped ribbon and rhinestones.  All this makes lots of glitz and glimmer.  The stamp set is Add a Little Glitz and it is perfect for the banner.

Enjoy the Warmth of the Season

Over the river and through the woods……..
That’s the first thought I have when I see this card.  The colors are Christmas but the houses and rolling hill is just waiting for a sleigh ride.

Snowflake Sentiment with Christmas Around the World

I’m not really ready for snow but I do love the first snowfall.  The sparkle and glitter of fresh new snowflakes is so beautiful.  This card reminds me of that feeling.  I used Snowflake Sentiments stamp set and Christmas Around the World designer paper.  I like the Basic Gray and Pool Party/Soft Sky color combination.  Just add a little Wink of Stella to a few snowflakes and you’ll get the pretty little sparkle I love.
