STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS COLLECTIBLES FOR STS #2

I do love a good challenge site, and am thrilled that, thanks to the wonderful Lesley Croghan, there's a "new kid on the block", namely Seize the Sketch.  I have had a really difficult couple of weeks, and didn't get to play along with the inaugural challenge, but am pleased that I've been able to get creative for the second challenge.

Here's the sketch:


 
 
I've made a Christmas card for my stash, using new goodies from the Holiday Catalogue that goes live in Australia and New Zealand in two days' time - woohoo!

DSP: Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Bermuda Bay stampin' pad
Other: Silver stampin' emboss powder, Small Oval punch, Basic Rhinestones, Expressions Thinlits die, Christmas Ornament punch, Silver 1/8" ribbon, glue dots, Stylish Stripes embossing folder
