I can’t believe how quickly the weeks are passing by – it’s 1st March today and time for another 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge.  This week there is a sketch to follow…

Christmas stars sketch

My collection of handmade Christmas cards is growing nicely. Every week there is a new challenge set, and joining in really helps to focus your creativity …

I started by punching stars from real red and white glimmer paper, and then popped them up on dimensionals and adhered them to the card …

The sentiment was stamped in basic grey ink – I find it’s less harsh than black.

I love all the glitter and bling – Christmas is definitely a time for your cards to sparkle!

I stamped a message on the inside too, and adhered a little glitter star to match …

    1. Thank you for your lovely comments Ruth. I’m addicted to the gold sequins at the moment – if it stands still long enough it gets a sequin added! 😀 Gill x
