I returned home yesterday from a few days break in beautiful Surrey. It was good to get away and have plenty of walks in the fresh air.
Well here we are, half way towards next Christmas and time for the Rudolph Days June Challenge.
I used Lisa Horton 'Cubes' embossing folder with silver mirror card for the background, which posed the usual problems trying to photograph it! The stars are Lisa Horton 'Layered Stars' from the Stitched Collection. The layered sentiment is raised up on foam pads and I added a few tiny clear gems, coloured with a blue Promarker, to add some Christmas sparkle.
I am joining in the following challenges:
The silver and navy layered sentiment star looks so pretty over the silver mirri embossed background Liz and the blue gems finish it perfectly. Glad you had a good few days in Surrey. x
ReplyDeleteI love this Liz. Not because it's Christmas but because I'm a Dallas Cowboys football fan and that's our star and colors. Love it! [Bunny]
