A Gem of a Challenge 34.....

Hi everyone,
I know I'm late with my A Gem of a Challenge card,but this week ran away with me and then I just couldn't get a decent pic it's drizzling and dark here so this is the best I can do,sorry I will try to get some better ones......For this challenge Christine is hosting and has this fabulous sketch for you all,





but that's not all she would like to see some stitching faux or real and a sentiment......


I've used Andy on Sledge stamp from Pink Gem Designs coloured with promarkers.....The papers are from my stash as is the card,bell,snowflake charm and the bead snowflake.....



The sentiment is also from Pink Gem Designs......The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons.....Right that's me done,off to the Garden Center now with hubby,but will catch up with you all later......Have a great weekend,and don't forget to checkout the rest of the Team's gorgeous cards.....

Absolutely gorgeous card. The papers are fantastis and I like all the stitching. It really adds that little something to the card. I keep saying I will try and do some stitching too, but I never get to it. Oh well, maybe one day ... The little bell is lovely too. :) Hugs!
