Christmas card...

I know, back already...but just realised I have forgot to post this easy peasy card I made, so love the pink and all the glitter and the torn vellum has been a big favourite for me this year...do hope you like...

The big gorgeous swirly stamp was heat embossed with white powder, then I just ran ink all over and wiped the excess off the embossed design, once again, I sprayed it over with CraftersCompanion Spray and Shine and threw glitter at it, that's was it I think, oh and the vellum is also embossed....so easy to make...

Off to find a challenge or two, big thanks for any comments you leave, always appreciated..

Merry Christmas challenge
