Gifts Galore

Hi there my card today is for this weeks LOTV
challenge, the theme is an 'Untraditional Christmas'.
I'm also going to enter this into Creative Insirations
their challenge this week is Christmas in September.

I decided to use my favourite colour PINK
i think it looks good for Christmas.
Nowadays you can get your Christmas tree in all
sorts of colours,we got a new one a couple of years
ago which has a blue theme and it looks fab.
Anyway i digress back to the card.

I have used one of the new Christmas stamps from
LOTV i think this teddy is so cute it's
going to appear a lot on my cards this year.

I have used my Caran D'ache neocolor 2 watersoluble crayons
to water colour the image, These crayons are fab there are
30 in the tin in a range of great colours and best of all
they where £4 off a car boot.
I cut the image with nesti die's
The paper is from the English paper co.
The sentiment is also from LOTV.
The flourishes are cut using Marianne Creatables die.
The flower i made from ribbon and i put a pearl bead
onto a crystal pin and finished off with a pearl brad,
and added a bit of lace.

I've not been card making much lately I've been having a go at
jewelry making.
I bought some chain and grey pearls and this is what i made

This is where i got the idea for the flower on my card
I'd made one first for this necklace and thought it would
look good on a card.
I really enjoyed making this i might have to get some more
pearls in other colours and have a play.

Thanks for looking
