This fortnight's ABC Christmas Challenge is hosted by Lols...and the theme is:
'L is for Lights'
...with the optional extra of Christmas Trees
Well, as I was unable to find an image with any Christmas lights on...I decided to 'adapt' one of my Christmas tree images (this one is from the 'Holly Jolly' set by Penny Black) with some cute little lights. They came on a string, but I cut them up and poked the string through holes I made on the image, then fixed them in place with tape on the back. Here's a close up:
The sparkly papers are from the 'Wonderful Winter' pad by My Mind's Eye, the snowflake was cut using my Cuttlebug 'Ice Crystal' die, which I then stamped with Versamark ink, and coated with holographic embossing powder. I added some star shaped bards (from Tescos) to the tops of the trees on the bottom section of the card to hold my easel part up, and the sentiment stamp is by Paper Makeup.
Here's a side view, so that you can see the dimension of those lights...this is one card that will be delivered by hand this Christmas! lol
I followed the sketch from Eat, Sleep Stamp for the top part of my card, and I'm also going to enter it into the 'Pimp your card' challenge over at Sweet Stampin'.
My lovely DT buddies have created some fabulous cards for this challenge...you can see them all on the ABC Christmas Challenge blog.
