From Our House to Yours Christmas

Hi i am here with a Christmas card I made for Beccys Challenges.

They are doing a month long Christmas challenge. each day Beccy gives us a Letter as a idea.

Well for my card I went with the letter O for Our.

The card features one of Beccys great images called Family Reunion

Image coloured with Promarkers

Background done with distressed inks

Glitter Sequin snowflakes

Large foam snowflake from Hobby Craft

Sentiment from Digi Stamp boutique

Glitter card to mount the image
