Truly Scrumptious Challenge ....

Morning,
Thank you for popping by,today it's time for a new challenge over at Truly Scrumptious and for this challenge my lovely team mate Marlies has the theme of...

Christmas with pearls or Vintage....

This will be our last Challenge for this year but we will be back in January.....

And here's my card.......


I would like to enter my card over at....

Make it Monday - Anything Goes

I've used a Lindsay Mason stamp from a set called "Ave an Elfy Christmas" coloured with polychromos pencils blended with sansador......The papers are again from Echo Park and the card from my stash....


The sentiment is from the same set......The snowflakes have been punched out with a MS punch and then I've  glittered them and put a pearl in the center......The ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons and the bell from my stash....Right got to dash teaching a class today....
