This week the challenge on the CD Sunday challenge blog is 'Christmas Sparkle'. I've just about finished my Christmas cards and the glitter has hardly been out of the cupboard. Good thing really. I've just spent more time vacuuming it all up than applying it to the card. The house image is from Creative Expressions - stamped in Adirondack Denim and glittered liberally. The bp is from a Graphicus Guild pack - I was hoping to find it on one of their cd's as I didn't want to use it all up and it seemed just the right shade to go with the Denim - but I couldn't - so I had to use it. The greeting is my CD bit - it's from MCS More Than Just Words Volume 3. The swirls are Marianne Dies. I stuck some white card onto double sided sticky sheet and after cutting out, peeled off the backing and pressed them into the glitter. The white organzer ribbon was a bit sparkly - but not enough - so I stuck some extra strong ds tape down the centre and glittered that too. The whole thing looks a lot more glittery IRL than in the piccie but I just couldn't get the lighting right. If I stood it on the table there wasn't enough light and if I stood on the window sill the sun was so bright it cast shadows all over the place. Yes sun. It's a glorious day here again and the conservatory windows open again for the second day running. Sorry!
Thanks for visiting today.

This is really lovely Beryl. Blue and glitter really do go well together but I have to confess to hardly ever using glitter just because I'm too darned lazy to clear it up. It just gets everywhere!

Beautiful card Beryl!
Hi Beryl. Fantastic card. Love how you've glittered it and a great idea glittering the ribbon. I love Sheena's stamp. But don't have that one. Freezing here and a sheet of ice everywhere. Hugs x ChrisB
Lovely card, Beryl. The trick with glitter is try not to inhale.... and do not rub your eyes when using.

Beryl,
I just love this image! And it has a quiet calm about it in the blue (even with the glitter) I know what you mean about trying to take a good picture. Some days it just doesn't happen. Gorgeous card.
Love and blessings, Martha

Fabulous Beryl - loving all the sparkly bits.Thanks for joining at CD Sunday this week. Tess x
I think I'm going to move in with you, Beryl. You sound lovely and warm but what's all this about conservatory windows being open!!!!!!
Our's was actually reasonably warm this morning in the sun but I went out to see what has survived in the greenhouse and left the door open for 5 minutes and it was possitively arctic when I got back.
This card is just beautiful. I love the sparkle and had to smile at the glitter. Do you wear it for days after!!!
BTW, I meant a rose bush for our neighbours, although I don't expect them to actually plant it in the frozen ground, hopefully it'll be ok in it's pot until the Spring!!
Hugs Lisax
