I really loved the sketch for to-day and had some extra time so here is a start on my Christmas cards. I found this glitter painted piece in the bottom of a file so decided to use it. It is a very easy technique but a little messy so don't have the window open and bar all small, furry animals from the studio! LOL Simply cover a piece of card stock with double sided tape... lay the stencil on the top... mask off certain parts (so as not to have red where the green leaves should be!..don't ask)..and glitter away. Burnish the glitter with your finger but always remember NOT to scratch any itches until you wipe your hands..don't ask ..again!! After you colour simply remove the stencil and add the neutral background. The sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I had this button so I just added some glitter and a gem in the centre and used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the bottom.

Fabulous Christmas card Sue.... I had to smile when you wrote having the window closed and no furry animals... I have to remember to turn off the ceiling fan... I'm about 50% with remembering at this point....Great job with the sketch

Oh my gosh what a cool technique! Thanks for the laughs too! I ALWAYS think I won't smear and get lazy about masking- Duh! Hands are not that steady here! Love the look of this card and that glitter makes it look so festive for the holidays!
