Another Christmas card!

I'm such a procrastinator when it comes to making Christmas cards! I hate mass producing the same card so I've been doing some sketch/technique challenges to slowly build up my stash for this year. This card is made from a card sketch over at my friend Sandie's blog. The sketch was for a landscape card, but I've turned it around to make a portrait card, and Sandie requested that we use lots of bling!

Can you believe I've only used that one little Hero Arts greeting stamp?? The trees are made from corrugated card, I used Slick white glossy Kindy Glitz sprinkled with glitter for the snow, the trunks are just scraps of brown cardstock. The star is white cardstock inked up with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink and covered in Crystallina Kindy Glitz for bling! The swirly bit at the bottom of the card is a cuttlebugged piece, trimmed, and I highlighted the swirls with the Spiced Marmalade ink. I also used Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink to just add a little grunge around the edges of the greeting circle, the Patterned Paper and the cardstock. Kaiser rhinestone gems are added for some more bling!

This is not your normal colour combination for Christmas, but I like how it turned out.Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
