A Merry Christmas with lots of glitter!

Hi lovely friends and followers - thank you for visiting my blog today!
Just popping by with a Christmas card -which I would like to enter into the Marianne's Design Divas challenge - Winter/Christmas, using at least 3 Marianne items.


Recipe:
3 Marianne dies - Trees - LR0283, Village - LR0284 and an old fave of mine - Flourish 118,  -I have added part of this die onto the glittery snow (left-hand side).
The beautiful sentiment is from Inkylicious.
The spotty paper is  from Craft Creations.
There is lots of Crystal Glamour Dust on this card, but unfortunately, it doesn't show up very well on my photo! So sorry!

Happy crafting - Hugs,
