This lovely clear stamp has been coloured using ProMarker pens and glittered.  The image is fun as it contains a back and a front and I have mounted this onto the front of the card using lovely blue fine metal wire.  I have used lots of die cuts and glitter card to make the decorations for the card I am very attached to my new Memory Box dies at present.  The other dies are Spellbinders and Marianne Design snowflakes.  The backing paper is Swell Noel Winter Wonderland from K & Company and glitter card from my stash.  The Happy Christmas and Snowman Ribbon labels are from Crafty Ribbons and the gold thread decorated ribbon I have had in my stash for a while.  Happy Christmas foiled label from Craftwork Cards mounted on a glitter die cut star.  I have also used lots of glitter Stickles.

Christmas Friends

Happy Saturday to all.  Its been another really busy week for me with very little time for craft.  I have managed to make a couple of cards using Lili of the Valley - Little squares.  I have quite a collection of these and I love them.

Showing the front of the bear card.  The image has been glittered and I have used a snow marker pen to decorate.  There are various die cuts on the front of the card and some of these have been decorated using lovely silver glitter and red Stickles glitter.  The greeting topper is from Craftwork Cards and the ribbon from Craft Ribbons.  The little silver stars are from my stash as is the silver mirror card.

The inside of the card is shown above.  I have used a similar image and die cuts and have provided a blank tag for recording of a greeting.  The papers are all good quality and come from my stash.
