Weather update from chilly Scotland - It's STOPPED raining hahaha. Snow has been seen on the hills and yes it is only September! I told you it was chilly.
I digress
There's a new challenge started over a Delicious Doodles. This week is all about the bling.
GEMS AND BLING!
I chose to re-start on my Christmas card collection. I'm more likely to send a blingy card at that time of year.
The Delicious Doodles images I chose in the end were Christmas Lantern,
Christmas Holly border and on the inside, Christmas scroll border
Some green spotty paper from my miscellaneous paper stash, matted onto pearlised gold. Some red dotty embossed core-dinations. Instead on sanding back, I lightly rubbed a glue pad over it and then applied gilding flakes. That big red bow is rescued packaging ribbon from some choccies. I just made a couple of loops with it and threaded through a ribbon embellishment. A couple of TH die cut pine sprigs cut from packaging chipboard and heat embossed with green frantage. The sentiment was stamped onto shrink plastic and threaded through with narrow red satin ribbon. 3 tiny gems added to the top corner.
The other border image has been used inside in order that a message can be written. If you look carefully, you'll see that the lantern image has been decoupaged.
Both the borders were coloured with glittery gel pens. The lantern image coloured with promarkers.
That's about it folks. So get your bling on and come join in the challenge at Delicious Doodles for a chance to win some images for yourself.

Wow Croms I love it! The card is so beautiful and I love all the little touches. I'd never have thought of using a ribbon slider like that but it looks so effective I'll definitely try it in the future.
