Christmas time's a coming....

Well, the weekend is nearly over, and didn't it turn cold!  Hopefully this isn't the end of the nice weather, but I have had the heat on today.  Feeling the winter aches and pains already....yuk!


Of course, if winter is coming...then so is Christmas, and today I have another Christmas card.  Once again, it is a rubber stamp from Wild Rose Studio, and therefore I have used my water colours.  I've added a bit of sparkle to the snow with some glamour dust, but I really had some fun with the edging.  I've cut out the image with one die, inked the edges with DI, then stamped the edges with a evergreen stamp.  After adding a bit of gold metallic trim, I then mounted it on another die cut, to which I had also added the evergreen stamp.  The sentiment has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder.

Supplies used:
Paper from Wild Rose Studio - A Robin's Christmas
Evergreen and sentiment stamps from Darcie's Stamps - Cardinal
Spellbinders dies -  Labels Twenty Three and Fleur de Lis Rectangles
Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons

Here's hoping your weekend was grand, and that all goes well in the week ahead!

Some challenges for my card:

Bizzy Bec's - Anything Goes
Crafty Little Fairies - Only One DP
One Crazy Stamper - Halloween/Christmas
Penny Black and More - Get ahead for Christmas
Simon Says Stamp Monday - Finishing Touch
That Craft Place - Shabby Chic
