Christmas Star - LOTV


Good morning everyone and welcome to my new follower, your comments really are greatly appreciated.
I get worse. Not only do I miss deadlines for entering challenges, but discovered this week that I say I have entered challenges and then find that I forgot to go back and enter after publishing my post............. duhhhhhhh... this old age thing must be really getting to me ;-)

I think I must have caught the Christmas bug as I couldn't resist inking up this cutie.


I wish I could get the camera to capture the sparkle of the glitter as I used lots of Glamour dust and  Ice crystals. She is one of the new releases from LOTV as is the backing paper and the sentiment. I cut her with a SB deckled rectangle and matted up with Bazzill basics. The corners are SB Holly Accents. Ribbon , peals and charm from my stash.



She is coloured as always with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma pencils.


The inside reflects the front. If anyone is looking for Christmasy ribbon I bought this (and red and green) from Dunelm Mills, 12 m  rolls for under £2.


I am entering the following challenges :-

Wow Eileen, this is one of the nicest christmas cards I have ever seen, you really didn't need to worry about capturing the sparkle it shows up quite well. I loe your choice of colour too, I have just bought a massive pile of blue and white dotted swiss cardstock for my christmas cards, it's MY traditional colour scheme!
