It's time for a new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' and the theme for this month is 'Festive Decor' so that leaves a lot of room for interpretation. I can be baubles, lights, houses... anything to do with blinging it up for the holidays.
I used a Lili of the Valley image I've had for a couple years and it is called Christmas Baubles. I loved this image from the time I first spotted it in the shop and it's been waiting for me to ink up since then. It coloured up quite quickly and for pizazz, I added some Frantage and tiny red beads for the holly berries. The border dies are Lawn Fawn's Puffy Cloud Border die and it was perfect for this. I like how the stitching takes jazzes it up a bit and makes it more decorative.
This month, we are sponsored by Flat Friends who is generously giving a prize of two digis to the lucky winner.
Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the gals on the team have created and here's a great chance to get a head start on your holiday cards for this year. The only requirement to enter the challenge is to follow the theme.
Thanks for stopping by!

Wonderful - I wish you could make a video using Frantage -- I have too heavy of a hand. The Copic Gold Spica pen made the gold dots on your card?
You really need to have your very own YouTube channel - I know I would watch!!
