Hope Your Holiday Sparkles! Shape Card

Hello again!  This is post #2 for me today, so if you get a chance you can scroll down to see my Christmas ornament that I created for the SweetStamps.com Blog!

I'm here now to share a fun shaped card that I've created based on the new Be Inspired Challenge that started today... take a look...

Supplies Used:
Stamps: The Alley Way Stamps ( Holiday Sparkles )
Ink: Versamark 
Embossing Powder: Piccolo
Distress Inks
Paint Brush
Ranger Watercolor Cardstock
Dies: Spellbinders
Sequins: V's Sweet Ideas
Rhinestones: Recollections

I was mainly inspired by the snowflakes and the rich colors in the pink, silver and velvet purple photos.  It was fun to do something different and to just be free with the water colors.

 I am adding this to the following challenges:
Christmas Cards All Year Round: Anything but square or rectangle
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Christmas Cards
Simon Says Stamp Wed. Challenge: Holiday/Christmas Cards

Happy Crafting and I do hope to see you play along for a chance to win two stamp sets and a GD spot!
