Surprise! Can you believe that I have a post two days in a row? This never happens but I did finish this card and decided to post it before I got sidetracked. It is a little early to be thinking about Christmas but I wanted to play with this stamp from Lilli of the Valley. I bought it last year and just never found the time to ink it up until now.
I had a lot of fun coloring it though there was so much detail to it I was afraid I would get it almost all colored and mess part of it up and have to start over. I usually have a hard time fixing red so I colored that first. I used these 3 DP from Bearly Mine because I love the red and tealish color together. I also added lots of different color glitters on the card. There is gold on the large poinsetta and the poinsettas with the sentiment. there is diamond glitter on the fur trims and the snow. I also glittered where I distressed around the sheet music. the whole card really sparkles, I tried to show it in the second picture.
Can you see all the sparkle?
