Christmas Sparkle

This was one challenge I didn't want to miss- Sparkle!  I can't resist sparkle of any kind, from diamond to glitter it all does it for me!  so here's my card for the challenge this week at Casolgy;

I actually used a sketch from the Merry Monday Challenge and as this week the challenge allows you to use any of their past sketches I have entered the challenge over there too.  This is the sketch I used, although I have rotated it.

I used Naturals White card stock to make a card base and matted some deep red pearlised card onto it Then I cut a shape from gold embossed vellum and added a piece of ribbon with a sentiment on it, cream and gold to match the colours.  I cut out two Christmas tree shapes and topped them with tiny gold star beads. I still felt it needed more sparkle so I've added three die cut glitter card snowflakes.  i'm just lovin' all that bling! Still CAS though I think, well, CAS enough for me.  Hope you've got all your Christmas cards made now.  I've still got one or two more to show you over the next week, then I think I'll put all my Christmas stuff away...for about two weeks that is!!
