So, away with the Mirri board for another year, but I'm holding on fast to keeping the glitter! :) lol.
I made this card today using my new Tilda in her cozy christmas coat stamp, and following the sketch over on the Crafters Companion Challenge. I also used my new scalloped nesties......... hmmmmm...... now remember when you were little and your mum would say to you, 'you cant have anything 5 minutes..........'? Well i have lost my smallest little scalloped nestie, and I am NOT impressed! TUT! ..
It will either turn up when the vac screams or the dogs might bring it me to play with, (hopefully) as I cant bear the thought of it having been chucked away with the christmas rubbish. I waited almost all year for that set of nesties.
The DP is Joanna Sheen, and a piece of backing card from a Kanban Kit. I used McGill punch on the dp for the fern leaves, stickles and gems for added bling. I was aiming for a deep midwinter feel to the card, Icy, dark and crisp. It snowed here all day, but not the nice bright christmas card snow, more like the January blues and grey skies snow. I am also loving playing with scalloped edge cards too.

PS Hope your Nestie turns up. From my sewing days I have a large magnet wand, it's great for finding small Nesties and brads and anything else I drop lol. Try your sewing shop or Google, they aren't expensive
