Happy Monday .......
I hope your week is off to a good start. It's a busy one in the old craft room ..... blog challenges, DT stuff, and a workshop to prepare for.
I've got another blog challenge for you this evening and it's time to get a little festive. It's the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge .... Ho! Ho! Ho!
As you can see the theme is Anything Goes, with this month's optional twist ...... SPARKLE
We all like a touch of sparkle now and then ........ and especially on those Christmas projects!
I've gone for lots of sparkle on this CAS design ...... although it's not easy to photograph!!
I've used a Sweet Poppy stencil for the wreath, with white paste stencil paste through it. Whilst the paste was still wet I sprinkled over the top with fine crystal glitter in a beautiful festive green shade
Just look at the detail.
I then added some dots of white enamel accents over the top of the berries, and then sprinkled these with fine crystal glitter
A simple festive greeting on the bottom ..... from HLS Mixed Christmas Sentiments ...... heat embossed in gold is the perfect finishing touch
I've shaped the stamp so that it follows the curve of the wreath ...... something which is so easy to do with clear stamps.
As with all the HLS challenges there's a $20 Gift Certificate for the winner, to spend in the HLS store
I look forward to seeing your designs in the challenge gallery ..... Happy Stamping!
Thanks for popping by .... enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week.
I'll be spending most of mine in the craft room ....... projects to finish, deadlines to meet. And, there's less than 3 weeks now before we go away on holiday so I'm trying to get everything done for the start of next month too!
Cheerio until next time ......

White misty mistletoe fruits are a beautiful ornament of your card. Wonderful Christmas wreath. I love the way you put sentiment.
