... in February!!! I've made this card for three challenges. The first is The Play Date Cafe PDCC67 colour challenge - using blue, purple, pink and red. The second is for the new Sparkles Christmas Challenge which is to use a Christmas tree in your design. And the third is the OLW challenge at Simplicity - where we must use a border, image and some bling.
I found these colours to be really challenging!! Still I guess that's the whole idea!! All the stamps are from Waltzingmouse Stamps - Claire does wonderful Christmas stamps!! I stamped everything directly onto the base card using memento inks, and added some colour to the Christmas tree with Promarkers. The bling is simply a sparkly gold star!! That's it - clean and simple!
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Muscial Backgrounds, Nutcracker Sweet
Inks: Memento - Paris Dusk, Grape Jelly, Lady Bug
Promarkers: Rose Pink, Poppy
Accessories: Card from stash; Sakura gold stardust pen
Sadly :) I didn't get to do the ironing today as I had a bit of a relapse and felt rather poorly! So it also meant that I didn't get to finish all the challenges that I wanted to. However, I've managed half an hour this evening and put together this card - so the day was a complete loss! :))
But that's all for now - I'm off for an early night. Will be back again tomorrow.

I think that was a nifty bit of combining. Take care & rest - the ironing will not disappear - don't know if that's a good thing or not. Hope you're very much better by the morning.

I still think that WMS Christmas tree is one of the best I have ever seen & it looks rather stunning in your colours.

Hi Deborah. I absolutely love it!!! Big smiles over here. Those colours are rather exciting and you've used them wonderfully well.

I'm a big fan of musical backgrounds and also planning ahead! A card for your stash already - that's impressive!
Hi Deb, I hope you are feeling better soon. It is disappointing not to get to do all you wish to do when you feel ill.
