The background pale blue and white matted on to silver is a piece of card taken from a card received a couple of years ago (too good to throw out). I stamped the lovely Inkadinkado tin can mail stamp with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver. I used a matching piece of blue card to emboss with a creative expressions folder run through my cuttlebug, inking up the front side of the folder with brilliance starlite silver before embossing. I then threw detail clear powder on to this and heated - this has given it a distressed look. I used an offcut piece of silver foil embossed paper, a sparkly silver ribbon, three habico rhinstones and a sentiment to finish the card.
The card was based on the sketch for Christmas challenges with sketches 10 - please click the link to see the sketch (I took so long blogging that I missed the linky, but have left a comment to acknowledge that I used the sketch).
