A christmas challenge at MPS

Hi,sorry I've been a bit quiet lately, I'm still having problems with my back but I think its getting a bit better now. Its  time for another challenge at Michelle Perkett Studios and this week our theme is 'Christmas'. For my DT card, I've used the beautiful image 'Tia, the Holiday Fairy' from Michelle's etsy store. Tia is a real stunner isn't she? She could be Michelle's lovely poinsettia fairy's little sis lol.


I've used a bp from dovecraft and layered Tia on a red circle (marianne die) and a cream square punched with MS topiary punches. I've added some cream lace, red organza and velvet ribbon, some flowers from my stash (aren't those red floradoodles gorgeous??i've had them for years but thought Tia deserved them lol) and some die cut swirls.

To finish the card off I've added red gems and stamped a sentiment onto the card stock and embossed with gold ep. The sentiment reads 'Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas' . Its actually looking less like Christmas here as the snow is going now although we are expecting some more this week.

I'm entering Tia in the following challenges:
Ai Factory: Holiday/Christmas
Creative Belli: Christmas
Cute card thursday: Floral Frenzy
Flutter by Wednesday: open challenge + butterfly angel, fairy
C.R.A.F.T Challenge: colour inspiration
Passion for Promarkers: anything goes

Thanks for visiting today.
