It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

It's official - I am in love with creating Christmas/Winter cards and so I am going to try to share a whole bunch of them through December. I figure that really, the day after Thanksgiving, is a good time to start.
I created this from last weeks sketch, Laura's sketch #13, at 2 Sketches 4 You so I am a little late sharing mine but that is OK. I used a wonderful verse stamp from Unity that really isn't just for Christmas but it just seemed to fit so well.

I sprayed the verse piece with Stewart Superiors Memories Mists. It just helped that plain piece of white paper match my patterned papers. The snowflakes are coated with a new find, Deco Arts Craft Twinkles. You just brush it over your piece and when it is dry you have a great amount of sparkle.

This card is my CPS sketch card for this week. Read on for a pretty fun technique.

See that green patterned piece in the middle? Well, I used a Glimmer Screen from Tattered Angels. I had sprayed the screen with my favorite color of Glimmer Mist, Key Lime Pie and once the screen is covered with mist I just hate to waste it so I blotted it off with a plain piece of white cardstock so now I had a complete design on my paper, the opposite of the pattern that I got when I sprayed the screen. I just cut a piece of that for my little middle section. The entire card was sprayed with a little mist of the Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist. I love the look that a slight spray of a color gives to the entire card front.

Be looking for a fun announcement from me soon regarding Glimmer Mists and Tattered Angels!
