For Someone Special

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Moving Along With The Times!
This week it's Shell's turn to host the challenge and she would like to see our creations for... Someone Special at Christmas
I decided to make a Christmas card for my wonderful In-Laws! It features the beautiful On a Winter's Day image by Delicious Doodles... I printed the image in a sepia tone and then added a touch of glitter to the snow with the Wink of Stella pen. The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug 5 x7 Winter Frolic folder, I used Walnut DI for the distressing and the sentiment is computer generated. The poinsettias were cut out with Spellbinder dies, spritzed with a little Perfect Pearls Mist and then I coated them with Rock Candy Distress Stickles... you can't see it very well in the photo- but this card is
so sparkly IRL! :)

Now head on over to the challenge blog and check out the gorgeous creations by the other team members!

That's it for now... enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by!

    This really will be a special card for your in-laws! So pretty in all that sepia and love the image. The poinsettias are so beautiful and I know the whole card shines with the Perfect Pearls mist and Wink of Stella.

    Very pretty Tammy. I love the sepia colour tone, I can see a bit of the shine and glitter if I bring it up large. I can image it is even more beautiful I.R.L. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely creation with us at Creative Card Crew.

    This card is fabulous! I am so impressed with how stunning it is even with such a limited color palette. I am a color-holic, so I appreciate people who can create masterpieces with only one or two colors. Well done (and I adore the dimension you added with the poinsettias, too) and thank you so much for sharing this with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
