After I had finished my DT work on Thursday night, I managed to make a Christmas card with this adorable image that I had coloured earlier - it is one of the two LotV stamps I bought at Port Sunlight
:-)
It struck me as being particularly appropriate for this week's Passion For Promarkers challenge theme of Stars, so I piled on the star patterned paper, teeny star gems and these gorgoues little sparkly wooden embellishments I found when I was out shopping in John Lewis (they also had li'l Christmas trees in store, and when i have just been onto their website there are all sorts of other dinky Christmas embellishments on there as well!!)
Stamps: Lili of the Valley "Little Trumpet";
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers; angel wings and stars dusted with glamour dust;
Papers: Forever Friends Christmas; white pearlescent card embossed with Cuttlebug "Christmas stars" folder;
Supplies: star embellishments from John Lewis; "Joy" charm from The Hobby House; Papermania teeny star gems; ribbon from my stash.
Challenges:
I used the gorgeous sketch from this fortnight's A Gem of a Challenge #32 (rotated 90 degrees)
Lili of the Valley #117 - Bingo! (Gems / Charms / Emboss)
Charisma #42 - Embossing
Simon Says - Inspired by Rhymes / Fairy Tales
