My cards were pure delight to create. The first two feature the lovely Christmas Icons - Christmas Angel and Christmas Icons - Nativity dies, paired with sentiments from one of my absolute favourite sets, Warm Hands, Warm Hearts.
My third card (shhh...don't tell Shery I made a third one) showcases Christmas Icons - Christmas Tree #2 die, backed with glitter paper, and set atop the Christmas Tree 1 ARTplorations stencil, by Sanna Lippert), using Nuvo Glitter Glimmer Paste in Moonstone. The sparkle, in real life, is soooo pretty!
