'A Bit More Time to Craft' Challenge #56 - Anything Goes

Today, I am sharing my Design Team card made for

'A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge Blog' where the theme is always 'Anything Goes'

The challenges are held on the 1st and 15th of the month where the lucky 3/5 winners can

win their choice of 3 digi paper sets from the very talented Lozzy.
There are lots of fabulous sets to choose from which can be found HERE
and they print beautifully.

You can find all the challenge details HERE on the blog, if you would like to enter.

For my card this month, I thought I would print

one of the three purple designs in this set directly onto the card base.

Next, I used the bauble paper, printed it again directly onto card and cut and embossed

it using the Spellbinders square die.

I then added some Glamour Dust onto the baubles to give a little sparkle.

Lastly I die cut the frame and the sentiment, using purple and silver mirri card,

and added the diamante gems.

The products I have used:-

Lozzy's 'Pastel Christmas' Digi papers

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Squares and Lacy Squares

Yvonne Creations - Merry Christmas

Sparkly Christmas Baubles

Today's card is one I made using the 'paper piecing' technique.

I used small pieces of adhesive glitter sheets for the baubles.

Unfortunately, it's been a wet, grey day here, so the photos do not show the

shine of the mirror card and sparkle of the baubles very well.

It does look much better in real life! 

I love the sentiment die which I first saw HERE on Pam's blog.

Pam's cards are just stunning, and I must say that blog following can

definitely be bad for my purse!

The items I have used are:-

Docrafts Xcut Embossing Folder - Oak Frame

Baubles Die - Purchased from eBay

Yvonne Creations - Merry Christmas

Xcut - Adhesive Glitter Sheets
