The latest House Mouse and Friends challenge # 105 is to see a lot of SPARKLE ON CHRISTMAS CARDS. This little card really sparkles and shines. I used Mica chips for the snow, clear dimensional glaze on the bells and diamond Stickles glitter glue for added sparkle. I found a bag of teeny-tiny silver bells at the dollar store and added it to the center of the bow. The snowflake border is made with my Martha Stewart snowflake border punch. I like this edge!
Another wonderful challenge blog, The Paper Players is also having a challenge this week with the theme of music! Now this is a challenge I love, and if you have a new musically inspired card be sure to hop on over to The Paper Players and submit your card too!
Finally, a third challenge site that I'm posting to this week is to the Simon Says Challenge site. Simon Says Challenge is featuring Sparkle and Bling and Stampabilities stamps too! How fun since my card is featuring this darling House Mouse stamp which is made by Stampabilities.
This is a very simple card to be used either for Christmas cards or gift thank you notes at holiday time.
I have some new sewing projects in the works and need to get into my sewing room now.
Until next time,
Cheers!
Jennifer
