Golden &

Time for a new challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and this week it's a colour challenge.  We want you to use at least three of the following


I've used the red, green blue and gold and a freebie snowflake stamp with the Love and Joy stamp from Stampin' Up and the background was stamped, before I added the gold heat embossed sentiment. I had to wait a while to ensure that the embossing powder only stuck to the letters. I've added a ribbon as you can see and some Dazzling Details (which you probably can't see, but which gives a lovely glittery finish to the snowflakes.

I also used the cue word from Casology as my starting point, the word this week is 'and'  which sent me reaching for this stamp.
