It's time for Game #54 with AAA Cards and our these this game is Silent Night, Holy Night and I just got this background stamp the other day and thought it would be perfect. And I can never wait to play with my crafty goodies that come in. ;)
There was some Christmas Sparkle embossing powder that came in the Nov SSS Card kit that has red and green glitter and I heat embossed the background on some watercolour paper with the Lattice Grid background stamp from SSS. I then took some Picked Raspberries and Peacock Feathers distress inks and did some water colouring. I purposely blended in the middle to create the purple colour. These are my two most favourite colours of the distress colours. Okay, most of them are my favourite, but who's keeping track!
I then took the Merry & Bright die and cut it out of navy shimmer paper from Recollections and glued it down the Tombo Mono. I added the same shimmer paper to the sides to tie in the sentiment. To finish it off I added some Sparkling Clear sequins and clear droplets.
Be sure to head over and link up your project! We cannot wait to see what you all create!
Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon!

Stunning colours - two of my favourite too! Love the backgound stencil and the addition of the clear gems just finishes it all off a treat.
