The foiled papers were remains from a QVC kit and the stitched paper with stars seems to have gone on forever (not much of it left now!). The silver ribbon is very glittery. The stamp is by Personal impressions, inked with Brilliance starlite silver and heat embossed with detail silver.
Those of you who follow my blog regularly will know that I love making Christmas cards, so much so that at the beginning of this year I started my own Christmas challenge blog I am delighted that so many people have been entering my challenges. Challenge 29 is 'seeing stars' - to use at least one star somewhere on your card. So this is another one for my own challenge - perhaps you'd like to go and have a look and join in - you have until tomorrow evening at 22:00 UK time to link up your entry.'Christmas in July' seems to be a popular theme atm among challenge blogs, so I'm linking for these:

Oh Hazel, I love your elegant cards so much, you have a great eye for combining your elements. That stamp you used is perfect and I admit I want to find one like it - and I think it is great that you are using your scraps just as much as your newer items. You are thrifty and talented - a great combo!
Thank you for coming by and participating with us at Opus Gluei, I enjoy coming by and seeing your creations!
Beautiful! Love the colors. Thanks for playing the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge!
Beautiful card Hazel - the colour is stunning.
