Merry Christmas to You and Yours

One of my resolutions is to make at least ten Christmas cards each month, so I can prevent last minute card making in December - I'll keep a running total on my sidebar.  Another resolution is to be thrifty, which means there will be a lot of snippets cards this year!

This card covers both of the above and I've made it for this week's Winter Wonderland challenge which is 'Your favourite colour combo'.  I've used one of my all-time favourites for Christmas, which is red and gold.  Paper and card are from my snippets drawer, so I'm paying a visit to Pixie's Crafty Workshop.

Card blank: 6" x 6" white silk 

Stamp: Inkadinkado 'Merry Christmas to You and Yours'

Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles Large and Classic Scalloped Circles Large

Embossing: Kars tan embossing mat
Ink: Versafine Crimson Red

Colouring: Gold gel pen
Other: Wink of Stella

Snippets: Paper and card 

I layered a strip of red and gold paper onto gold mirri and attached it to the card.  The image was stamped onto white card, die cut, layered onto a scalloped circle of gold mirri card and attached to the card with foam pads.  I coloured the stars with a gold gel pen and added a Wink of Stella to the stamped image.
