I  have most  things  prepared  so  decided  to  give myself  some  crafty  time  this  afternoon  ,    This  challenge  reminded me of  this lovely  stamp  so  I  decided  to  make my  second  card  for  next  year  or it may  come in  useful  for  a  last  minute  forgotten  card  .

I used  a  black  card  background  which  I sprayed  with  CC  Spray  and sparkle  gold. I  used  a floral  embossing  folder on  this  but it  doesn't  show on  the photo  .  The  die  cut is  Tonic  trellis circles  ,The  stamp  was  free  with  a stamping  magazine  . I  coloured it  with  PMs  and  added  stickles  and  glossy  accents  . The  stamp  has  apples  but  I  preferred  flowers  so  added  Christmas  roses  from  Petal  Lu and  Poinsettia  flowers using  shrink plastic  flowers  that  I made  ages  ago  and  had in my  stash  I  added  card  candi  and  Peel offs  to complete  the  card  .
