Christmas Ornaments

Hi,

We had a delightful day on Saturday, with lots of sunshine,  walking round the woods that were covered in Bluebells and White Wood Anemones and afterwards we went to the cafe (that is run by a different charity every 2 days), where they even had a dairy free cake, yipee.
We were all glued to 'Britain's Got Talent' on Saturday, as one of the mums from Harrison's school was in - 'Lisa Sampson' the hula hoop lady, for all my overseas visitors here's the link :

Another photo, to try and show the stencil and embossing sparkle


First i stamped on my brown heat proof sheet : Tim Holtz - 'Milled Lavendar, Dusty Concord, Chipped Sapphire and Stormy Sky', spritzed it and then got my 2 pieces of card and rubbed it into the ink - once dried i used stencil : Imagination Crafts - 'Snowflake Frenzy' with : Sparkle Medium - 'Diamond', with the other piece of card i stamped : A free clear stamp set from Simply Cards And Papercraft that goes with : Spellbinders - 'Heirloom Ornament', i stamped it then embossed with : WOW embossing powder - 'Metallic Silver' and cut it, and added Bakers Twine - which has a silver thread (i also have the gold thread one too) running through it - i got it from Ebay a company called 'Paper And Lace'.

The Challenges I Would Like To Enter Are :

Winter Wonderland - where the Challenge is : 'Twinkle, Twinkle (and all things sparkly'

Allsorts - where Challenge No: 308 is 'Bring On The Bling'

Christmas Cards All Year Round  - where this month's Challenge is 'Christmas Ornaments'

ABC Christmas - where the Challenge is 'H for Happy Holidays / Christmas'

Rudolph Challenge  -that is run by Scrappy Mo - where you have to make a Christmas Card from 25th April - 30th

As You Like It - where the Challenge is 'Embossing - Dry or Wet' - my reason for choosing Wet is i love how you can make it glittery / sparkly

Thanks for looking and for any comments you would like to leave, would be most grateful, Luv Sam x
