For challenges then for charity

Hello bloggers,

Thank you so much for your warm birthday wishes on Zeenya's birthday... what a lovely world blogland is!

I just happened to stumble upon www.cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/ and got inspired to take part in their latest challenge with this card.

Somehow this card looks much nicer in real life because I have used shimmery paper and the camera doesn't do enough justice to it. The circular shapes have been cut from my Cuttlebug die cuts on handmade paper and the snowflakes, holly leaves and reindeer are all from Carla craft punches. The sentiment is hand written because there wasn't enough space on the card to stamp it.

I am also going to enter this in the following challenges:

www.dcdchristmasclub.blogspot.com/ - anything goes

www.papercutzchallenge.blogspot.com/ - bling and any colours you like

www.meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/ - glitter, rhinestone, sparkle


Hugs,

Monica

Beautiful card Monica.

It's frustrating isn't it when cards are difficult to photograph.

I can tell though that this shimmery paper is gorgeous and your card looks fabulous.

Michelle :-)
