If you came from CYSTALs blog, you're on right track. If not you can go and start a hop at BEVs blog!
I want to show you a card I made with Crissy Armstrongs Jingle Bell Ride stamp - the sentiment comes in a set with the image!
I coloured the image with Copic Markers and cut out with Nestabilities labels. The papers are from Crate Paper Snow Day collection, sponged with Vintage Photo distress ink and stamped with Newsprint Definitions background stamp in Antique Linen. The effect is very subtle and doesn't really show in photos well but adds lovely depth irl.
The ribbons are all from my sash, as is the lace. The flower is from Petaloo, adorned with a snowflake sticker and a Dew Drop on gold.
And the card actually JINGLES, I tied some tiny bells on with gold cord. Believe me, it looks and sounds adorable!!
I punched all the corners with a Fiskars punch I've had in my stash forever - I must say I love the effect!

This card is really stunning! I have always loved merry-go-rounds and enjoy riding them with my 2 granddaughters at fairs.
My real name is Anna but I am Dutch and my family used to call me Anneke when I was a child so your name brings back a lot of memories. My younger sister just found out recently that I was named Anna when I was born. She always thought my name was Anneke! We have been in Canada for over 50 years and I am now called Anna so she thought my name was changed to Anna when we emigrated.
Oh wow, beautiful! I love all the gold. Gorgeous colouring, as always! I esp. love the golden bow and flower embellishment. And the bells too! This is so much fun to look at!
Stunning card, Annika, as always!! Wonderful colouring and great details.
Hugs, Vanja
