Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge - Friday 20 December 2013 - Christmas/New Year

 Today sees the start of the last challenge of 2013 for Sweet Pea Stampers.  The challenge for this fortnight is "Christmas/New Year".  That's a nice and easy one to end the year off with isn't it?

 For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image by Elaine Cox called "Moon of Wintertime".  It is available as a digital stamp and a rubber stamp set (the set comes with the larger image and a small image which you could use as a background stamp, for inserts or envelopes).

I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers and added highlights with my clear Wink of Stella pen.  

The backing papers I have used are from the Bearly Mine Designs "Winter Swirls" Set.  I have finished the card off with some die-cut snowflakes, gems, handmade flowers made out of tissue paper and held together with brads, die-cut Christmas trees with Stickles added for some Christmas sparkle and a sentiment from my Perfect Christmas Companions CD.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
