Annabelle Stamps Birthday Celebrations ~ Challenge # 1

Hi Guys,

Welcome to the start of AnnaBelle Stamps 2nd Birthday Celebrations!

To kick things off, yours truly and the lovely Sue W are holding the very first challenge right here on each of our blogs and we have a fun challenge for you, our challenge is...

'A  1, 2, 3 Recipe'

~ 1 New Stamp(or a stamp you have not inked up from a set, you can use any stamps you have in your stash or head to the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog to claim your FREE exclusive Digi Stamp to use)

~ 2 Die Cuts/Punch Shapes

~ 3 Bling(gems, pearls etc)

So here's my card:

Last Christmas I received a stunning card form Leigh(Cause I'm Me)and I have it on display on my shelve and I LOVE it so much I CASED it but changed it up a little lol, you can check out Leigh's card HERE!

For my card I used two die cuts and two punch shapes(I know naughty, naughty for not quite sticking to the recipe lol)I used AnnaBelle Stamps 'Stamped For Christmas' Stamp Set and I used the gorgeous ornaments stamps as I haven't inked them up yet lol and I placed my three bling(Sprinkles)in my flower centres.
I have glimmer mist my flowers in Pearl and they are so sparkly but don't show well in the photo which is such a shame as they are so pretty lol!

What I love about Leigh's card is that it looks like a Christmas Ornament and you can hang it from your Christmas tree and to personalize it a little more, you could even add a photo on the front or even in the inside with your favourite photo, which I'm so going to try!!!

Supplies Used:
AnnaBelle Stamps:  'Stamped For Christmas' Stamp Set, Rich Gold Embossing Powder, Gold Cord, White Petal Pack, 6mm Olive Sprinkles

Other:  SU! Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla cardstock, DP By SU!  Tab Punch, Spellbinders Dies, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, 3D Foam Mounting Tape
