Sparkly Christmas Greetings

Hello Everyone,

Well I thought I would squeeze in one more card before the holidays. I was hoping for a little snow before Christmas, but it looks like the only snow I'm getting this year is the DecoArt snow I used on the cards I made. HA!! This card is actually the first one towards my stash for next year...yay, I'm ahead of the game already!! lol




The background papers are from Maja Design Vintage Frost Collection. I used a BoBunny script stamp from Powder Mountain and some Potting Soil ink to add some extra design and distressing. The snow (as usual) is DecoArt Snow Writer and it's covered with DecoArt Glamour Dust.



The snowflakes are Penny Black, the image is from The Graphics Fairy,  the doily is Cheery Lynn. I have added tons of Opal Liquid Pearls down the sides, around the center circle and on all the fishtail banners.  If you look carefully, you can see little pearls and pearl snowflakes tucked in under some of the panels. Just a little something extra.








I am entering the following wonderful challenges:


***
I thought I would share some of the shots of the window decorations from main street that I didn't get a chance to share before. It was such a wondrous sight to see!!

















That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend full of merry and wonder!

    Beautiful card, Pamellia! Your attention to detail is always amazing. Looks like we are going to have a mild weather Christmas this years, so yesterday, I had my nails done and had a couple of snowflakes painted on two--that's about as close to snow as I'm going to get for Christmas this year! Love your town photos.

    More Christmas Gorgeousness! I'm so jelly that you're already working on next year's cards! I love your idea for using the vintage image. I have so many vintage cards that I could do this with. Thank you! (We got the only snow we are expect to get before Christmas, just a dusting, early this morning. It's melted now, but is was pretty while it lasted.)

    Love, love, love this card Pamellia! That bird image is just so sweet! The stores in your area do up their windows so nicely....some of them remind me of the 1950's (the train display). I have three cards to go, but they will have to be New Year's ones now as I've missed the mailing deadline.

You can go ahead and put my name on this...it has everything I love from the snow to the winter birdies! Now you've gone and got me inspired! I hope you had a lovely Christmas with your family!
