This is for the WT challenge today to use sequins; this is the first time I've put a sequin/sequins on a card, and maybe these sequins are too big, or I put too many on, or they need to be translucent, but I'm not liking the look - back to the tiny pearls and enamel dots for me! TFL

I'm with you: I've never purchased any because I've never really card for them either. Needless to say, you may not think so, but your card is still stunning. I love the blue bg and your sprig done in white. so pretty.

This card caught my eye the moment I opened the gallery. I love, love, love blue and white cards and this is so stunning for a Christmas card! Thank you for doing such a stunning card for my sequins challenge!

I agree with you that sequin placement takes a certain sixth sense, but really, I think you've done quite well on this. I do love the blue and white combo.

Very pretty card. I don't use sequins very often either, but I really do think you did a great job with them on your card. Love the pretty blue background too.

It's a beautiful card, Claudia. I love the white embossing on blue and the shiny sequins are great for that Christmas sparkle.

Claudia, this is a WONDERFUL Christmas card and you really imparted a cold and frosty feeling with the bg and white pine bough. The sequins add that bit of sparkle.

A lovely holiday greeting with a smattering of sequins. Sometimes I struggle with random placement myself but I do think a little shimmer enhances your CAS design.
