A Gem of a Challenge 53....

Finally got here,my camera battery has been on charge so I'm a bit late,my own fault it went dead the last time I took a picture and I thought must charge the battery and I promptly forgot...lol... 

Today is new challenge time over at A Gem of a Challenge we have a few changes the DT has been split into two so half have posted gorgeous cards today for you all to see and the rest of the team will be posting more gorgeousness next week to inspire you...
Also we have a new blog called Gems of Inspiration where we will be posting lots of cards and ideas for you all,but at the moment there is a brilliant followers candy up for grabs so why not become a follower and enter.....

For my card I've used one of the fabulous card blanks from Whichcraft called Vintage Step card...




I've run all the elements through my embossing folder called falling snow by cuttlebug and then used antique linen distress ink around the edges...The image is from Pink Gem Designs called Rudy with Baubles coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers......



The snowflakes have been punched out with a Martha Stewart punch and then glittered the ribbon and gems are from my stash and the sentiment is from Pink Gem Designs.........

Hope you all have a lovely weekend....
