Welcome
I can now let you in on some news I have been waiting to share - I have been accepted onto the
We Love Stamping DT, and this is my first card for them
The November Challenge, starting today, is Christmas. and this is my card

Yes, another bubble background, this time with blue and purple in it.
I trimmed the piece to size, and the brushed the edges with Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks.

The image, from Sweet 'n' Sassy's O Holy Night set was stamped in black ink and embossed, then some yellow ink sponged around it. The embossed images resisted it beautifully.

The sentiment, from the same set, was also stamped and embossed, then die cut, brushed with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink, and mounted over a gold sheer ribbon

The final details included some Inka Gold gold paint, splattered over the upper half of the image panel, some deep blue facetted 'gems' and the gold star.
The panel was mounted over a deep blue layer and then a light blue card base.
This inside was finished with some washi tape.
