Rainbow Lady's Challenge #135 - Winter Sketch

I have made the background paper by spritzing Cosmic Shimmer Mists in purple, silver and gold onto a piece of white card. I then spritzed it with water to give extra interest. The winter sketch stamp is by Blue Moon, the snowflakes cut by my Cricut and the sentiment is from Elegant WordArt by Bethany. I have followed the sketch faithfully but think that there is too much on this card and would have preferred not to put the snowflake ribbon at the top and would then have moved the main image higher on the card. That's just me though!

Bah! Humbug! Challenge #19 - Ribbon

All I knew when I started this card was that I wanted to use the ribbon slot punch I bought ages ago and haven't used yet. It became apparent that I couldn't use it around corners very well so the straight design dictated the layout of the rest of the card.

The ribbon is again courtesy of my friend Gladys and the central image was made up of a nestie cut shape from an old Christmas card which I edged with gold pen and a 4" doily that I sprayed with Red Lava Cosmic Shimmer Mist. I mounted this onto a gold nestie circle. I made it look a bit more of a rosette with the extra ribbon.

I like this because it has all the requisite shine, shimmer and bling I expect on a Christmas card!

Hope you like it too and please feel free to leave a comment.
