I can't believe its the end of the month again! The good thing is we have a new challenge starting over at Natalie & Amy's. This months theme is a fab one.....
EMBOSSING!
You can do either heat or dry embossing, just make sure you mention it in your post if its not easy to see.
This month I decided to make a Christmas card, using one of my favourite artists.

I just love any image by Sylvia Zet, she just draws the cutest images!
For those of you who are regulars will know I don't really do glitter/stickle only a small amount & very rarely. Well I surprised myself with this card & covered the tree lol. I'm not sure if it looks ok or not?!
