Magpie Christmas Card

And now for something completely different...

Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know that I am not a glitter kind of gal.  I don't do a lot of sparkly cards.  But I have friends who can't resist anything shiny (I call them My Dear Magpies), so I thought I would try making something more to their liking.

I knew that I wanted to use the tree die from Spellbinders.  I die-cut the tree from Bazzill Bling cardstock and embellished it with blue and silver rhinestones.  For added texture, I embossed the silver background paper with snowflakes.

The sentiment from Artistic Outpost was stamped on shimmery white cardstock and heat embossed in silver for even more shine.

I think this is a card that any magpie would want to have in her nest.

Supplies:
Bazzill Bling cardstock; silver stationery paper; shimmery white cardstock from Stampin' Up; snowflakes Cuttlebug embossing folder; Spellbinders holiday tree; blue and clear self-stick rhinestones from Michaels; sentiment from Artistic Outpost; Versamark ink; silver embossing powder; rectangle and scalloped rectangle from Spellbinders; corner rounder punch; pop-dots.
