I'm dreaming of a purple Christmas


I'm doing my best to make sure that Christmas doesn't creep up on me this year and that I get a few xmas cards made each month. Although I enjoy the traditional colours for some of my cards I really love using blues and purples as well.


Recipe
Stamp sets: Scandinavian Season, Best Yet
Cardstock: Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac, Whisper White
Ink: Versamark
Embossing Powders: Silver, White
Rhinestone Brads: Lilac
Stampin' Write Markers: Almost Amethyst
Punches: Scallop Oval, Large Oval
Other: Dazzling Diamonds
Non-SU: Nesties


The card blank was stamped with snowflakes and heat embossed with white powder for the background. The sentiment and tree were heat embossed with silver EP and a section of the tree picked out with markers. A separate section was picked out with Tombow adhesive and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds. I'm not sure that you can see the bling factor too well but I've tried to show different angles to pick it up.

I'm working on a few boxes and bags now to go with the card.
