1, 2, 3, GO!!!!

Today is the first day of the new challenge at
It's The Snowflakes team this week.
 
I have cheated a bit, as I have used a precoloured image.
 
Both the image and the backing paper, are from our generous sponsor,
 
The Paper Shelter
 
 The theme is 1, 2, 3, which translates to:
1 image, 2 papers and 3 embellishments.
 
The prize for the winner is $15 Gift Certificate.
 
The set I used is called For Santa and is available
in a outline Digi too.
 
 The photo is not very good, as it was taken on a dark rainy day.
Is it ever going to stop raining!!
 
 
I decoupaged the image, adding Stickles and Glossy Accents to the
baubles and star on the tree. Also Glossy Accents on the glass.
 
For the snow I used The American Snow Writer and
sprinkled Angel Dust glitter on it.
 
I found a tool I bought about 20 years ago,
that was when I was doing cross stitch....a lot!!
It was still in it's unopened pack.
 
You might remember, many years ago they stopped people
taking scissors on planes. So they got around this, by making
this very pretty metal circle that had a blade inside.
You could put it on a leather rope and wear it as a necklace.
 
They now sell them as a paper distressing tool and are
now made from plastic.
So my brass one is a bit posh!!
 
I had forgotten that I had it. So it's now out on my desk
and I used it on the edge of the papers.

 
So now......1,2,3...... GO!!!!
And get your mojo working, for a chance to win a brilliant prize.
 
Our Snowflakes Teamies have posted their adorable cards
on our blog here.
So pop over for some amazing inspiration.
 
Good Luck and remember.........Christmas cards only accepted.
I am looking forward to visiting your blogs to see your creations.
 
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your lovely messages.
I love reading them.
 
Hugs,
