Christmas challenges

Every month my stamp group has a Christmas challenge, this year we are doing the letter of the alphabet and we are on G for this month.  I went for Gold and I used my gold pen to go around the border and used on the tops of the ornaments too.  I also used my sparkle pens to color in the ornaments.

I would like to also add this card to the CAS Christmas Card Challenge, the theme is glitter.


You can see the sparkle a little better with the close up view.

In my card making group the Christmas challenge was to do a quick and easy card.  I bought a sheet of Christmas images from my stamp store that you cut out to use for your card tops.  All I had to do is find some papers that were closest to the colors in the image and cut a die cut frame for it. I haven't decided if I will put a sentiment on it or not.

Pretty coloring on your Gold Glimmer ornaments! I really like the CAS card too. The postage stamp die and printed papers are a great way to showcase the image.
