Midweek Magnolias Challenge #175-"Anything Goes"

Good Wednesday morning dear blogging friends!

Half way through the week already so you know what the means...YES...it's time for another new challenge at Midweek Magnolias!  Our SUPER easy challenge for the next two weeks will be "Anything Goes"...so get out those Magnolia images or die cuts and come on over to play along with us!!  Our sponsor is as always Magnolia Sweden!

I'm trying my best to try to build a bit of a stash of Christmas cards before I'm tearing my hair out to get them done...lol!!

Here is what I came up with...

please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...

I wanted to make a card that looked like a Christmas ornament so I drew my own...although the design kinda got lost when I added the lace around the outside...

I cut out a "top" for the ornament and punched the edge with a Martha Stewart snowflake boarder punch...

then added a jump ring for the hanger...

the red card stock was embossed using a Spellbinders Christmas embossing folder...

DP is Maja Design from the "A Gift For You" collection...

 the top...

this little darling is "Tilda Wearing Holiday Sweater" from the Aspen Holiday 2016 collection...

coloured with my copics...

dusted with Chunky White Frantage...

closer...

 "Merry Christmas" is a Quick Kutz stamp...

crystal stick pin is from The Ribbon Girl...

I added red beads and a crystal dangle earring from my stash...

 "snowflakes" were made using a Crealies floral die...

Another Christmas card to add to my stash!!  Now won't you please pay a visit to my talented team mates over at Midweek Magnolias then come on and join us for your chance to win a Magnolia Sweden prize and become one of our Top 3!!
