LIM meets 52cct

The 52nd challenge of LIM is here - next week it's their first birthday - who hoo!  I for one can't remember what I used to do on Saturday mornings before last February.....   This challenge is a sketch - a simple strip on a landscape oblong  http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2012/01/week-52-sketch.html   I decided to combine it with the challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown which is to use a minimum of 3 gems on your card.  http://52cct.blogspot.com/2012/01/embellishment-challenge-1.html


I stamped a WM bauble onto teal, embossed it in silver and cut it with the matching nestie.  I added the 3 gems to the centre of the stamp and faked some small ones with glitter below.   I added a strip of snowflake DP and attached the bauble by hand back stitching a cord for it to dangle from and a tiny bit of tape to secure the bottom.  I finished with a teal sentiment in the position to match the LIM sketch.

Can't wait to see what the birthday challenge is ladies :-)
