Pink Christmas, with Sparkle

I found a new challenge site (and had to make a purchase or two!) which is Squiggle Stamps and their current challenge is:

Christmas Creations

I've also used the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch for inspiration (always good inspiration!) The image is a freebie from Squiggle Stamps and I've coloured it with Promarkers. The papers are all from Funky Hand - the spotty one is Rainbow Polkadots download and the other has a very light snowflake pattern on it and is from Funky Little Christmas download.

I've done the dotting around the edges with liquid pears and a silver gel pen for the image. Ribbon is from my stash (was determined to use it as I've had it for years!) and the large snowflake is from a Matalan sale. The other snowflakes are confetti.

I'd like to enter the following challenges with my card:

Incy Wincy: Monochromatic
Sparkles Foum: One For The Girls
Secret Crafter: Monochromatic
Sweet Stampin': Christmas In July
Crafty Catz: Christmas In July
Fussy and Fancy: Christmas In July

  • Image: Squiggle Stamps, coloured with Promarkers and glitter glue
  • Papers: Various Funky Hand
  • Everything else: My stash
