Card member DT (design Team) Donna created this card from their blog, CASE-ing Christmas-Isn't it beautiful?!. I love how the background was created. I love blue and purple together so I decided to create a card with these colours and included glitter and gems because I am the glitter queen. I also love black and I loved how the light blue and black looked. I love this stamp even though I think the stamp itself is a bit like a pointelist method(think Seurat, the Impressionist). I actually think it is an error when the actual stamp was made, but I still love it. It's Victorian in feel so I had to include the ribbon which is so rich. Mind you the Victorian look is all I go for since I am anything but Victorian:) We all need an angel on our shoulder on occasion and so, when creating this I thought of Liz Blocker who is all snowed under. Even though it is Christmas themed, it's still an angel:)

    Birgit, the one at the top is GREAT! It reminds me of old cards from the early 1900s. Good job, girl!

    Very pretty! I'd really like to see it in real life as shimmer papers and glitter are so hard to capture in photos and I imagine it is quite sparkly. : ) And that gold ribbon really is rich and adds to the ornate feel. Thanks for playing with CHNCC2.
