Hello everyone. The ABC Christmas Challenge has reached the letters ‘N’ and ‘O’, Fabiola is the host this time round and the Christmas themes are:
‘N’ for No Stamping and ‘O’ for Off The Edge’
I went with the no stamping option. Here is my card:

I am sure you all know by now that I am a Spellbinders fanatic, and this card was created using one of their die sets and one of their embossing folders.
The background was embossed and then a darker blue ink blended around the outside edges to create a halo effect.
The baubles were all die cut, and all those little pieces of white and blue were die cut and inlaid back into their little places – a fiddly job, but I treated as a therapeutic endeavour.
I also used some white glitter card stock for some portions of the die cuts.


The sentiment is from a previous hot foiling session.
I hope you can come and join us with your Christmas creations following one or both of our two themes. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
AAA Colourful Challenge – mainly blue colour board
A Perfect Time To Craft – anything goes
Sparkles Forum Christmas – handmade ornament or ornament card
Christmas Crafts All Year Round – anything goes Christmas
Merry Little Christmas Challenge – anything goes Christmas
Christmas (or not) Bingo – column ‘I’ – free, embossing (wet or dry), glitter (glitter card)







Your die cut ornaments are so pretty. I love the blue colours too. Thanks for joining us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge. Love Dawn x
