Hi Folks
Well only 10 days until the big guy arrives. Can't believe how the time is flying by. Just a few more christmas cards to make and will then be finished for this year. I really must start earlier next year.
Today it's time for a little midway inspiration for our challenge over at Imagination Crafts Challenges. Our theme for this month is
Merry Christmas
Don't forget that if you enter a creation using Imagination Crafts products you could win a £40 gift voucher to spend at Imagination Crafts.
Here is my inspiration project.
I made a christmas card using a lovely decoupage stamp set available here at Imagination Crafts. I stamped the main image onto acetate and used different colours of sparkle medium on the reverse. I created the background by using one of the little stamps in the stamp set. I just randomly stamped the image over the gold card. The gold card was then matted onto red and black card. I then went around the edge of the gold card with stardust stickles. The sentiment is also in the stamp set. I added a lovely red organza bow and finished the bow with some large red pearls.
Thanks for popping by and for more inspiration just pop over to the Imagination Crafts Challenge blog. The design team ladies have been very busy and created some beautiful projects.

Well done Mags! I like the elegance of your focal image - there is a lot of time and effort in this piece! The large, red half-pearls that you used to pin the ends of the ribbon is a very creative touch! Thank you for playing the “Anything Goes” Challenge at the 613 house!
