It's not often that a challenge turns up that you have actually been thinking about let alone three but this si what has happened this week.
First of all I bought some Perfect Pearls powders last month and have been itching to try them out so tthis worked in perfectly with the DTGD little bonus challenge.
I had also seen a video over on Simon Says Stamp that wasn't quite like Sabrina's technique challenge but very close and I have been dying to give it a go and still might....and to top it off I have been thinking it's about time I go cracking on my Christmas cards, time is flying by.
The card itself is simple, I masked off the bordered area with low tack artist tape then stamped the PB Winter Bough using my SU Stamp-a-ma-jig then stamped again sing the PB Xmas Colors both with the perfect medium and then applied the Perfect Pearls. The rest is pretty obvious.
Thanks Sabrina and Kia for a couple of great challenges I'm feeling very pleased with myself re getting a Christmas card done lol.

A beautifully elegant CAS card. I know it's hard to capture the shimmer of Perfect Pearls, so I can imagine how much more beautiful the y shimmer in real life

That's what I call a beautiful Christmas card. I should get going on mine, also.

Marg, this is awesome and I love how it all came together for you. I love the way the perfect pearls shimmers on the leaves, and the berries look so realistic. I love your colour choice too. A super card.
