It's funny, I thought to myself, you need to start your Christmas cards early (I tried to do a few in January/February, but none since#, so I decided to try to use the MMSC9 as a Christmas card. You can find the MMSC9 challenge here:
They have great prizes associated with their challenges and their sketches are great fun!
I then noticed that the WT226 challenge was thinking what I was thinking - Christmas cards in July. Great minds think alike! So, I ended up with 2 challenges in this card.
I used A Wish For Peace stamp set #SU#, watercolored with old olive and close to cocoa water color crayons, added dazzling diamonds among the trees and church and ran it through the swiss dots ef. I then draped 2 ribbons around each corner of the image and added red rhinestones. I used Holiday Treasures DSP #SU) for the b/gs on each layer and ran them through the snowflake ef for more texture. You may not be able to see if too good in the photo. In accordance with the sketch, I added 5 large eyelets with fibery ribbon coming out of each one decorated with a red rhinestone. On the greeting, I just lined a row of mini red rhinestones with the greeting in the middle rather than using a ribbon. I thought it gave it a little different look.
That's about it. Thanks for stopping by and looking and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!!

Pam, my friend, you have made one more spectacular card. The image is gorgeous and love the fiber tabs with rhinestones. I know IRL this card is
sparkling all over. BTW, I had a huge laugh when I read my comment yesterday. I just know I'm looking forward to Sunday and hoping for some
good news. Your card couldn't be any prettier. Love it!
