So, here's my little project to celebrate this cool event! It's quite challenging to combine vintage with cutesy and festive, but hopefully this fits the bill. You all know I'm not a Christmas fan, however I am a snow fan, so I've gone with that :-) . The weather has been absolutely ridiculous today so the photos are not the best, however I promise that between the Glimmer Mist and the Stardust, this is a VERY sparkly card. Possibly too sparkly, I went slightly overboard due to excessive sugar consumption last night :-P .
Products used: Graphic 45 Le Romantique Collection, Brushed Cordoroy Distress Inks, Stardust Stickles. Tim Holtz Tonic Paper Distresser, Hero Arts Art Flowers, Prima Flowers, Red Velvet Glimmer Mist, Maya Road Crystal Star Trinket Pins, Hero Art Pearls, Lace from English market. Image is painted using watercolour paints and Glimmer Mist :)
I'm running low on lace... better get back to the UK to stock up on more :-)
Anyway, you guys are probably looking for a clue from me... and it is..... I am not telling you. Figure it out yourselves :-P. 
It is not a requirement to become a follower to be eligible for this prize. Please only do so if you like my work and will visit again :-)
