52CCT: June Embellishment Challenge

Sequins are the newest "thing" to hit the crafting world.  Which kinda cracks me up.  I had a bunch of them at one point and time and either gave them away or threw them away so that I didn't have them gumming up my embellies drawer, lol!  Luckily, I found a huge bag of them at a garage sale recently for just fifty cents.  Hooray!  And we'd like you to use some sequins this week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown...along with pearls!

Here's some inspiration~

My creation~

Inside~

I've used sequins from my stash, liquid pearls by Ranger, patterned paper by Recollections, and all other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.  I not only got the sequins at that garage sale, I also picked up two stamp sets--the snowman one I used earlier this month for $2 and this stamp set for just $3!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my card! I hope you'll join us this week and that you'll also take a bit of time to leave some love with the other gals on this amazing DT! Merry stamping, friends! :)

I LOVE this Mynn! What a timely bargain you found (and at a great price). The different colors are fun and I love that darling Santa image. Hugs D

Wonderful Santa stamp Mynn - which has resulted in a wonderful card! Love that the panel extends above the top of the card and all that bling makes the card extra festive and fabulous! I love the sequins around the sentiment on the inside too - another fab and festive touch!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend! {{{{hugs}}}} Ruth x

NO WAY - you got this stamp set at a garage sale for only $3!?!?! SO lucky! I've always admired this Santa image (and the star-shaped Santa in that same set) but shied away from it because I thought it would be too much of a bear to color. You've done an amazing job with it! I really like how you have the differently-colored shimmery sparklies falling around Santa. Excellent job, Mynn!

Oh this is just wonderful. Love the image of Santa with the gorgeous pearls and sequins! Love the ones inside the card too! Gorgeous.
