Christmas Greetings

Hello my crafty friends:

One of my crafty pals I got to know on line via the Hero Arts Flickr group and I did a card exchange. I'd sent her this card, and you could see the beautiful one she sent me here on her blog watermarks.  Is n't it lovely!?

Christmas is still one week away, but I don't think it's too early to send you a Christmas greeting right?!  So I'd like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a joyful holiday season with this holiday card!



I kept it rather simple, hoping to achieve a CAS design.  The cutting die is the Fancy Happy Holiday from Poppystamps (which I've won from their November new release blog blitz giveaway, thanks so much Poppystamps!).

On the background, I used the Speckles stencil from the Tim Holtz Collection, some homemade embossing paste, and EC's Silk Microfine Glitter (Cool Diamond) to create the illusion of falling snow.

The ornament is from the Hero Arts - Magic of Christmas clear stamp set.  I stamped and coloured with Copics and add Candy Cane stickles.

And I would like to link it up to some challenges:

Poppystamps Challenge #3 - Sparkle and Shine.

Simon Says Winter Inspiration.


CASology #126 - Snow.

Shop Our Stash #181 - Red Alert, my stash item is the ornament stamp.

Die Cut Diva's December Challenge - Snow and Christmas/Holiday cards.

Thanks for stopping by!  May you experience the magic of the season!!  Hugs!
