Is it Christmas already?

Good morning friends,
So pleased that it is only a Christmas challenge and not the real thing, so if you are feeling a bit like Christmas, then head on over to The Outlawz colour challenge

The colour palette was chosen by Ina, with these gorgeous colours and the twist to add glitter.

The lovely prize this month is a $15 gift certificate for 7 Kids College Fund, sponsored by Three "R" Girls Scrap. So please come and join in the fun. It is a good time to get started on your cards, as Christmas will be here before you know it.

Here is what I came up with

 

Paper...Purple shimmer, matted with 'Merry Christmas' paper. It was a freebie in a magazine.

The stars were cut with a Marianne Design craftable in a green shimmer, then embossed and a gold for the star outline. The large star was cut from a Christmas paper bloc, and here I 'cheated' a little as the stars were all glittered, but it doesn't show up that well on the photo. Maybe I should have just added my own glitter.

 

Finished off with a star bead and gold thread. 

 

I think it will fit these challenges:

 Robin's Fetish challenge #169...Christmas in July

The Squirrel and the Fox #48...Use something spooled

2 Sister's challenge #153...Stars

Take care and see you soon,

Love, Ursula
