Oh Christmas Tree!

More miserable weather yesterday, so I decided to stay in and do a bit of crafting. Every now and again I like to bring out this huge tag-shaped stamp by Inkadinkadoo as I think it makes a lovely traditional card, especially when teamed with BasicGrey paper. Also it has struck me as particlarly apt fo this week's SImon Says Challenge, which I was particularly keen to enter this time as they are offering a whopping $50 prize - how fabulous! I'm sure I'm not alone in suffering from winter-itis when it comes to taking card pics though - the light is so dull here this morning that everything looks decidedly dreary and all the sparkle and glitter is lost in translation :-( Can you just about make out the glitter on the snowflakes and roses in this closeup?? Recipe: Main image: Inkadinkadoo Tin Can Mail, inked with Brilliance pearlescent ivy ink; Sentiment: LotV Christmas sentiment circles; Papers: BasicGrey "Figgy pUdding", and a white self-coloured snowflake paper from my stash; Supplies: pearls from The Hobby House, ribbon and glittered roses from my stash; Tools: small classic circles and lacy circles nestabilities; "Make A Flake 2" shapeabilities. I would like to enter this card into the following challenges: Simon Says - Sketch Wild Orchid #11 - An Old Fashioned Christmas
