LOTV Christmas Dance

Another image I coloured on holiday was this little cutie:
I used:

- 6" x 6" white square card stock

- LOTV 'Christmas Dance' stamp - coloured with Aqua Markers and 'schparkled' with Glamour Dust and Stickles

- red card from snippets (never knew there were so many wrong shades of red card in my stash and it was snippets to the rescue once again!)

- backing paper from the Marianne Design 'Merry Little Christmas' paper pack

- sentiment 'tag' from stash - bought ages ago from QVC

- red and silver velvet ribbon sent to me by the lovely Carol, when Costco sold out of the Christmas ribbon pack I'd been admiring on her blog, she sent me a selection - thanks again honey!

- red silk ribbon tied into a bow - and some! - from Wild Orchid Crafts

- glittered poinsettias that I sparkled earlier, in true Blue Peter fashion, last week

- Josy Rose green nail heads (one of which I used to cover the hole in the sentiment tag)

I think that's the last of the images that I coloured whilst on holiday :( And the card itself was almost wrecked right at the 'last knockings'. I used the glue gun to attach the poinsettias....... and the ribbon bow - as the gun was already out for the flowers. Oooooops, big oops in fact, got a blob of glue on the red velvet ribbon just above the knot in the bow :( But, after running round the walls in fury at my own clumsiness I tied another knotted piece of silk ribbon and layered it over the bow at right angles - ha, THIS time attaching it with ultra sticky DST!! It hides the blob of glue at least :))

Missed the snippets playground last week so am trying to screech in early this week - 'Im baaaaaack Miss' - Jules Crafty Snippet Challenge Week 47

Today is meant to be the day that loads of folk do their online Christmas shopping - however, I'll be 'dashing away with the smoothing iron' whilst watching some DVDs. Yup, that was a plural DVDs - there's a humongous (a big word!) load of ironing leering at me from the futility room.........I could be some time :((

    Another cute card Di. I love colouring the LOTV stamp images. I've just finished off fifteen cards using my new angels. I think it's time to start writing some of them now.
    I have a bit of a blind spot about ironing since I came to live here, but it is on my 'To do' list for this week - right at the bottom! Kate x

    Hi Di .. .. lovely to see you back in the playground .. .. hopefully I am forgiven for not posting a Victorian dress up picture (but I haven't received any myself yet .. honest!!!).

    Loving your gorgeous Christmas make. You had some gorgeous snippets to use here.

    Well done on the ribbon recovery .. .. it looks very plush.

    Thank you for sharing in the snippet playground this week.

    Love Jules xx
