Christmas Village - Desire Dies

Good morning and welcome to the first of my cards for today, neither of which has any colouring :)

This first card is for the Winter Wonderland team and features a Desire Dies create a card die 'Christmas Village', for this weeks challenge chosen by Julie where the theme is 'The Holly and the Ivy'.

I really had fun making this one, throwing as much bling as I could on it,  The outer layers are that sticky backed plastic in silver glitter and then some dark blue shimmer card.  I added gold nuvo glitter to all the windows and white to the roofs and lakes. It doesn't show in the picture but I also added glossy accents to the lakes.  A few rhinestones to the sky as well as white glitter and finally a little chalk to the trees.  The holly die is from Sue Wilson and the Ivy is a Marianne die, both cut from green glitter card.  I added red pearls for the berries.  

The inside which has a Joy crafts die used to make a space for the sentiment. We haven't had any sunshine here for days so I had to use a daylight lamp to lighten up the images.

We are being sponsored this week by  Di's Digital stamps who are offering a $12 voucher to the lucky winner
