Dutchdare Card Challenge

The challenge this time is a colour inspiration, and here is the picture.
I went for a Christmas card in these colours (although I admit to muting the colours!!)
I watercoloured Uru and matted him onto black cardstock. I used the Whiff of Joy sketch from this week, and matted theses gorgeous glittery papers on to black cardstock. I added a sparkly flower and a Christmas tree charm.

I am entering it into the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - So Charming
A spoonfull of Sugar - non-traditional Christmas colours (teal/green/black aren't to me!!)
Creative Card Crew - Christmas
My Time to Craft - Winter Pals
Stampavie and More - Christmas
Everybody-Art-Challenge - stitching (around the image)

Do check out the other DT cards.


Recipe:
Stamp(s): Whiff of Joy Uru and bird
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: My Minds Eye Laundry Line
Embellishments: prima flower, ribbons, charm and brad from stash
