A Christmas card !

A little bit earlier than I like to make mine, but thought I would knock this one up today for a little challenge.

Over at Inspirational Card Sketches, they are running a DT request challenge, and I'd love to be a part of their DT, so thought I'd give it a whizz. There are more details on their web site HERE.

So, using the sketch that was provided, this is my entry.

Here are a few more close ups of the details.

As you can see, I've stamped the images a few times and cut out and layered them up to create a more dimensional look. The bird I used at the top was embossed with holographic powder to give it a shine.

The flowers on the card are both paper, both white, but I coloured one with copic markers. I added some glitter to it to make it shine.

I fell in love with this buckle at the show on Sunday. They are so lovely and I thought it went perfectly with the colors of the card.

The papers are from Craftwork cards, the lace is from the Craft Den and the blue ribbon is Stampin Up.

Hope you like it.
