I am at the stage of needing some fairly quick christmas cards as still got so many to do.
Today's card is using traditional (or what I term traditional) christmas colours - red and green with the addition of silver.
The background was done by matting lots of little squares in red and green onto silver glitter card. The papers were from Papermania. I edged all of the little squares with some faux stitching using a fine liner pen. Also did some faux stitching on the image.
A closer picture of the image.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sketch Saturday - use sketch provided
Dream Valley Challenges - 20 use some stitching
I love promarkers - 93 anything goes
Crafty Pad - 148 festive red and green and silver or gold
Thanks for looking and look forward to reading any comments.

Wow, look at all that fabulous sparkle! I always say you can never have too much sparkle on a Christmas card! I like the faux stitching, too, I always think it's so useful for adding a wee bit of definition.
Thanks for joining in at Dream Valley, too!
