This card is for two challenges, the color challenge hosted by the super talented Maura with the lushes combination of Smoky Slate or pale grey, Sweet Sugarplum or a pinky mauve color and one of my favorites Rich Razzleberry or a rich purply color with pink undertones and the Sketch challenge for this week hosted by the equally talented Ally. I will have to admit I found the sketch a real challenge but that is what it's all about and I think I got there in the end. lol
A couple of things I missed out of the accessories was a mini mister and Pearl Ex - 673 Interference Violet which I spritzed all over everything with gay abandon including myself and every imagined work surface, will I ever learn.... I don't think so, anyway I like glowing in the dark, I'm easier to find.
This card is definitely not a VSN candidate, took about 4 hours with a lot of weighting down gluing and waiting for things to dry but I loved every minute of it.

Stunning Christmas card. I love all the sparkle and glitter and of course the beautiful choice of soft colours. The die was just perfect for this lovely card.
