A copy card

Hi there folks in blogland - I've been cheating today - I've made a card that is amost identical to the one that my good friend Anne (here) sent me for Christmas - its such a stunner - and I managed to get hold of the stamp the other day - so I had to have a go. Now this stamp may well be coming up quite a lot over the next year - its such a corker - if you haven't seen it before its from stampendous - if you have - you'll know what I mean - thanks for the inspiration Anne - you're a star!!!!



Oh I just adore it - what an amazing stamp! I've stamped directly onto the card using archival ink - then stamped onto stamping card - and used DI tumbled glass to add the blue in the background and the centre. I've coloured in the windows and holly using promarkers and added glitter to the roofs and snowy field - that's not showing up too well but its there. Finally I've added liquid pearls randomly to diagonally opposed corners. The central oval and holly have been decopaged ontop.

I'm not entering this card into any challenges - its too much of a copy - from a friend's inspired card - so thanks again Anne - I really do love it xxx

See you again soon and thanks for visiting!

Hugs

Rachel xx
