My name is Andrea, and I live in
Kialla, Victoria, Australia, with my husband Chris, and our three sons. I have always loved papercrafts, and especially handmade greeting cards. I hope you are inspired to create today!

This is my card for this weeks Bling Sketch Challenge, and we'd love for you to join in!
Today I've used the Christmas tree from the set Jewelled Tree, and I've stamped it directly on to DSP using SU! Always Artichoke. I love the Pearls and have used the 4mm White Pearls and 3mm Artichoke Sprinkles to decorate my tree, and adhered them with Glossy Accents. It's only a few weeks now and we'll be decorating ours, and I can't believe it! I usually wait until the 1st of December, but we'll probably do it on the Sunday before because it takes such a long time to put all my loved little collectables out - some as old as me!
The gems on the tree look so pretty IRL that I left the card with just the added sentiment down the bottom, and nothing more...although I did line up some more bling in the corners but resisted adding them to it.I hope you can join in, but be sure to take a look at the DT's cards, there is some great inspiration! And the blog candy is still going if you haven't already entered that.
Have a wonderful day!
Pretty card Andrea - I love the added sprinkles!

Ah! I love the simple elegance! And the patterned paper is wonderful. The sprinkles do it, though. I really love them!
Thank you for your sweet message, my fantastic friend. xoxo
