Needless to say as is usual with me, I used a couple of them and then the rest got packed away.
Found them whilst looking for pale blue card!
The star is from SU. I have used it a lot and is probably one of my more sensible Christmas Stamp buys.
I used Versa Magic 'Aquatic Splash' ink - it was a great colour match with the papers - and clear embossed.
I didn't buy the dies that matched the stamp set as I thought they were very expensive - and after all even I couldn't mess up cutting round a star shape.... (the second layer hides the bit I took out of the bottom star)
A little bit of glitter round the edges and dotted here and there and assembled when dry.
The script die was another indulgence - first time of use.......
Another card finished!

I finished my round of County Presentations last Saturday. I have taken the battery out of the bathroom scales after all the food I have eaten at these lunches and dinners.
I only have 4 more duties left before I hand over the chain of office at the end of February. My year has almost finished!
There is one more event for me before Christmas - the Ladies National Presentation this weekend. The BIG ONE! Long frock, high heels and gold nails! Oh and yes - the speech to millions present - eek!!
Looking forward to having a bit of 'me' time in December!
Enjoy your week whatever you're doing and thanks for visiting! x

This is so elegant and I did smile at your tale of swapping the papers. Enjoy dressing up and I hope the speech goes well. You won't know what to do with all your free time come February x
Beautiful card -- I love the blue and white color combo and the extra sparkle you added!
This is a gorgeous card Viv and I love the pretty papers and the stamped star is so glittery and has beautiful dimension, and a great sized sentiment too. Enjoy the last few weeks of your time in office and I'm sure it has been a lot of hard work, but of the enjoyable kind, and you will miss the buzz. I know how it feels to stand up in front of a lot of people as I do some solo singing, but if you know what you are going to say, or sing in my case, just take a deep breath, relax and enjoy it. What I do is to look around the room so you look engaged but don't look anyone directly in the eye as this can cause you to lose concentration if that makes sense...lol. x
What a wonderful christmas card.
Thank you for joining us at the Sweet Stampers challenge and i hope to see you again.
