Joy to the World!

Happy Sunday afternoon!  As I had hoped, I'm back on the blog today to share another Christmas card done:
 
 
This one features the music background stamp from Recollections that I bought after last Christmas.  I inked the heck out of it with Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap to age it, and then added some gold Stickles around the edges with my finger for a festive feel.  The cute little caroler in the left corner is a digi from Fred, She Said called Emma the Caroler, Pre-colored set.  The sentiment, also inked all to heck, comes from the Signature Christmas set from Papertrey Ink.  LOVE that sentiment set!!
 
Challenges:
 
The 12 Months of Christmas Link Up #9:  Anything goes with optional "Christmas tree" twist
The Glory of Christmas #67:  Anything goes with optional "no stamp or digi" twist (I don't seem to be following that one very well anyway!)
Holly Jolly:  Use a die (Spellbinders ovals and scalloped ovals)
Crafty Calendar:  Anything goes
 
That's all for today!  Thanks again for stopping by!

  3. This is super cute and very festive. Cute image and I like the sentiment. Love the way you have glittered around the paper and sentiment. Nothing like some sparkle to glam it up. Me, I love anything with sparkle, glitter and Frantage!

  5. Hi Marie, I saw your card on 12 Months of Christmas Link-up and just had to drag myself over to say just how beautiful your card is, I couldn't believe that your background wasn't a real and aged piece of musical score collected and re-used, lovely sparkly background creation and the angelic caroller is wonderful too...have a great week...Megan
