The Sparkles Christmas Challenge #164 has just gone live and the theme this month is
Sentiment as the Focus
I used this sentiment die (LDRS Christmas Wishes) as the focus for this card. I lined up the sentiment die on this tartan panel (I used a tartan because I wanted something with a definite pattern). I then stacked the die cut so it would be more stable and layered it on a gold mirror card shadow. Then I covered the hole left from die cutting the sentiment in step 1, carefully lining up the pattern. I tried adding a few small die cut Christmas around the sentiment but wasn't happy with any of them and ended up only adding these small golden dots left over from a previous project.
I'd like to enter these fab challenges
