It's Saturday again and time for a new theme at Allsorts challenge. But before I get to that I wanted to let you know that we are looking to add a few more design team members to the team. And starting with the last December challenge, Allsorts will no longer be a weekly challenge but every two weeks instead from that point on. You can read this post if you are interested in applying for a design team position.
So this week our theme is simply..........Christmas. Prizes are from Lavinia Stamps.
I finally managed to use Lavinia's Berry Wreath stamp. It's one of those
stamps I had to have but then somehow couldn't use is properly. (I've had it
for a few years!!) And I have to admit this card took me several tries too
because I couldn't get the wreath stamped the way I wanted it to be.
I added some snowbanks with a torn paper mask. All stamps are from Lavinia
-The Wallace Family, Snow Falls, Small Snowflakes, Mini North Star and of
course Berry Wreath. I used a colored pencil to color the berries. All inking
was done with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. I used a white Posca pen for snowy splatter.

I added a bow on the top where the wreaths stamped images meet (I stamped it
twice) and lots of stickles glitter for some sparkle.
