With great pleasure, I've joined the talented designers at
I'm thrilled to team up with these marvelously brilliant crafters, and hope to see your imaginative artwork each month in our "Anything Goes Christmas" Challenges. The challenge is for ANY Christmas theme craft project. December's Challenge is open until January 8.

Recently I drooled over a Crafters Companion Gemini Christmas Tree on Sue Drees' blog. She generously gifted me with several versions of die cuts from the pretty set. My card uses the pink pearl background and the ornate, white glittered detail image on a center step card!
Using IO snowflake dies on brown cardstock, I then coated them with sparkling SNS Embers ultrafine glitter.
Cute little glittered hearts peek from behind the first step:
Wishing you a fantastic week, and hope you and yours enjoy a lovely season.

ReplyDeleteOhhhh, this is absolutely beautiful in such a sweet, pink, sparkly kinda way! That tree die is gorgeous. I do love anything swirly. Sometimes the detailed dies can be a pain, but when they're good, they're very very good! Love the hearts in the poinsettias, and the snowflakes backing them up. The heart border adds to the sweetness, as well. I'm smitten!
