With Christmas right around the corner, I'm thinking I need to
speed up on those Christmas cards.
I thought Christmas.
I used a stencil from Memory Box with some embossing paste.
By adding some Dazzling Diamonds before removing the stencil,
the "snowflakes" sparkle.
I die cut some Poppystamps Pine Sprigs from mixed media scraps
and added some Gansai Tambi watercolor.
The "berries" add more dots.
Another Christmas card for the stash!
Speaking of Christmas cards, it's that time of the month for

Beautiful card, Bonnie. The 'snowflakes' are lovely - a technique for me to remember - and I love the pine sprigs and berries. xx
Beautiful card. [Bunny]
Beautiful card, Bomnie. The green and red just pop and I love the additional sparkle and texture.
Such a pretty, elegant and CAS card. The pine sprigs and the silver ribbon look beautiful together and give your card the perfect finishing touch x
Bonnie this is so CAS and gorgeous - love it, especially the sparkly dots.

When I look at this card, I immediately feel very strongly the atmosphere of holidays. This card is like a time machine that takes me to childhood. I do not know what the detail of this card makes, but for me this card is unique ... Thank you, Bonnie :-)

Gorgeous! Loving the sparkle and the texture on your snowflakes!
The boughs pop off the card and look fabulous.
You have given me a great idea with your use of the trimmed down bow from Memory Box!
Thanks for taking part in the September Rudolph Days Challenge.
So much gorgeous interest, texture and dimension, Bonnie ... and still so wonderfully clean and crisp ... this is fabulous! Love the shimmery snow and the shiny little bow ... brilliant with the glow of those tiny berries! Hugs, Anita :)

This is so sweet, Bonnie. Love the dotty background, and the berries on the greenery. I do love the traditional colours of Christmas! xx
Great addition to the Christmas Card stash, love the layout and those dots!!! xx
I love dots and this was a great way to add them. The sprigs of green are so pretty with the red too.
Simple and simply stunning Bonnie. Love the sparkly snow.
Bonnie, this has such a clean and elegant look to it! Love the bright Christmas colors against the white background. This is so beautifully designed!
I love the classic elegance of the card, the white really allows the sparkle of the dazzling diamonds to shine so perfect with the crispness of the the red and green.
What an elegant card this is Bonnie - really stylish and I love it! White with just a pop of colour always looks great, and you do it so well.

These prettily coloured pine branches and gem berries look fabulous Bonnie, and the texture paste falling snow looks great in the background and what a fabulous red ink for the sentiment, a gorgeous colour. x
Simple and perfect!
