Challenge me a Christmas Card - Holly Jolly

Last year my friend Michelle Lupton asked me if I wanted to play in her .....

I had so much fun last year that I didn't hesitate when she asked me to play again this year. Our theme for the post today was "Holly Jolly" which was open to lots of interpretation. I chose to use this gorgeous image called "Christmas Mouse" from Whimsy Stamps. He was a freebie on the Whimsy Stamps Facebook page and I just couldn't wait to colour him up. By framing him with some die cut Holly I managed to fulfill the challenge brief. I can't wait to see how Michelle interpreted the challenge - you can pop over and check out Michelle's post with me :)

Aurora Wings Challenge #73

It's time to showcase my card for the latest challenge over at Aurora Wings Challenges. This time our theme is.....

I've used the absolutely STUNNING Christmas Mermaid for my card. She has a sea based Christmas tree to pop her gift under with a fishing net tree and a star fish topper. And of course pearls are the perfect decoration along with 'sea glass' rhinestones (OK that last was a stretch but at Christmas who cares LOL).

I've also made her shimmer as if she's wet by using a glitter gel pen. You can see it better in this picture - it looks lovely under lights along with the gold glitter and sparkle from the rhinestones!
