Hope your holiday sparkles ~ CDD Linky Party

Hello everyone! 

I hope you had a fabulous weekend!
We actually got a little rain here today... which we desperately need here in California!

Today is my design team post for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!

This linky party theme is "Make It Sparkle".





The sponsors are:

For my  Make It Sparkle project, I decided to create a sparkly Christmas card! Sometimes sparkle is hard to photograph, but hopefully you can see it.   :)

I used the Fancy Frame Dies for the scalloped layer of my base. I then used the vine circle die from the CDD Stitched In Circles Dies to create the open area for my shaker. I also cut some glittery red card stock with the same vine circle die and inserted the positive cut I created into the negative area created on my patterned paper.

The Christmas tree image is from the CDD Chill Out stamp set and was colored using my Spectrum Noir markers. I added some "sparkle" to the tree ornaments and star using my Stardust Stickles.

The shaker sequins are from the CDD Star Power sequin mix.

I  stamped my sentiment onto a stitched banner from the CDD Mix It Up Dies and then added some more Stardust Stickles to the "sparkles" on the stamp.
