TIME OUT #220 - Make Your Own Background

Our TIME OUT challenge this fortnight is all about the background - we are asking you to create your own 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Stamplorations - they are offering a $25 gift voucher to their digital store :)

I am in the holiday card-making spirit - these are my favourite cards to make. This card is actually one that I mass produced last Christmas but I never shared it and I thought this was the perfect challenge to do so.  The birds are Hero Arts Bird Words (love this set!) - I stamped them once in grey and then stamped them again in Versamark directly over top so I could add some Perfect Pearls and create some shine on them. The holly and berries are also from the set - the berries were embellished using a sparkly pico embellisher to add a little bit of dimension. The greeting strips are from Gina K - they are pre-printed but I foiled them using my Minc in red - to add even more shine to the card.

Our guest designer for this challenge is the very talented Desert Diva, Hannelie :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
