Glitter and Glitz at Lili of the Valley

I am seriously in need for some more Christmas cards - with the big day sooo close its just plain scary - people are gonna want their cards before christmas too right? eeeek!!

The challenge this week over on the LOTV challenge blog is Glitter and Glitz, the perfect challenge for a chrimbo card!!


I have of course used another of the adorable snow bunny images - I am serioulsy loving these stamps - I know they are soooo last year, but that doesn't make them any less adorable now does it!!

Lots of glitter on this beauty - well that was the challenge!!! - I glittered his hat and the snow, then used my quickie glue pen, a ruler and glamour dust to make a sparkly border - something a little different but I kinda like it :)

The papers are KaiserKraft and were free with a magazine, simple card really finished with a mini message ( also glittered i might add lol ) some ribbon and a teeeeny pom pom on the top of his hat - cute right?

.. and i was doing sooo well!!

I was doing sooo well with my blogging then everything changed!! Things have been a little crazy here lately - lots has happened - lots of stuff that doesn't involve cards - boooo!!! I have had my birthday, a weekend at birmingham, very poorly kiddies :( and then i had the silly idea to TOTALLY re-organize my craft stuff - seriously - I'm not quite there yet, but i can honestly say that at this present moment in time i know where everything is - woohoo!!

Well.... on to my card... a very simple card from me today featuring one of my new stamps by LOTV - ok, so it isn't a new stamp, but it is new to me and i love it!! It is seriously cute and i had a LOT of fun colouring it in.

Hmmm looking at the picture i took, I can assure you that the bottom part of my card isn't blurry in real life!! I have no idea what happened to the picture - maybe it is where the now and rose are 3d?

The papers are from various MME pads, bloom and grow and pretty please i think but I have had them ages so don't quote me on that one!!, each paper pierced and mounted onto kraft card. The ribbon is from the nec, its super cool stuff you can colour yourself, so that is exactly what i did with matching copics. The rose is from Wild Orchid Crafts and then I just finished with some gems. Very simple layout, but i think the image says it all really!!! Gorgeous!!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
