Merry Christmas To All

Hello all of you wonderful paper enthusiasts!

It's the Lord's Battle

The Angel of the Lord encamps around those

who fear Him [who revere and worship Him

with awe] and each of them He delivers.

PSALM 34:7

OMG! Can you believe I all most forgot to post my card today for PaperTemptress and I knew today was my day to post. I worked on this card for two days, Friday and all day Saturday so first thing this morning I could get it posted. Well Sunday morning came and Sunday morning went, as they say better late than never at all!!!

Let me tell you a little about this card. Ever since I received the Stampin Up holiday mini I have and still am admiring everything in it. I know you’re still drooling too! Right! LOL Any how I ordered this Sleigh Ride die set and wanted to put it in a Christmas bough like so many have been doing except I used a Spellbinders die, more room for detail. The sky was air brushed with copics, the snow was created using a white sharpie pen. Something else to think about, in this card you can see how the Retro Silver Lustre Text paper and the Aquamarine - Metallic/Mica absolutely shimmer and shines. These papers are wonderful for adding more bling to your creations.

Card base 5" x 7"

Hello everyone, just finished up with another Christmas card and thought you all would really enjoy this one. Yes I'm using the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations pattern paper and the poinsettia stamps and dies. I really like the way it turned out especially after I added the Sue Wilson die cut that I just received in the mail today. When I use Heartfelt Creations pattern paper I want to use dainty things with it, gives it a real feminine look.
