Christmas Tree Sparkle!

Hello Everyone, how are you all today?  well I hope and enjoying your day.

Thank you to everyone who left such lovely comments on my last post, very much appreciated, especially at this busy time.

We are out tonight at Alistair's little concert, a couple of hours or so, and it's all the Traditional music classes doing their bit, so there are all different ages groups and levels of ability. The wee ones especially get so excited, Alistair is so blase....can't find the stress character to place above the e. Anyway, he's an old trooper now.

My card today used a lovely die from The Works;
Very difficult to photograph. It's a lovely die and cuts out a dream even although it's an detailed one. I've cut it twice, one with white card and and then glitter card. I've used a CC embossing folder, them more glitter card.

It's just a short post this time around, hoping to get a visit to your blogs fitted in before I go out. So take care everyone and keep calm,

Hola Kate! Debe ser muy hermoso y enriquecedor llenar tu tiempo con los conciertos, aunque termines agotada, seguro que es muy satisfactorio!
Qué inspiradoras son siempre tus tarjetas, me gusta mucho cómo queda el árbol recortado con la tarjeta blanca y purpurina, y el fondo en relieve se ve precioso! Realmente es un troquel encantador, un trabajo muy fino y elegante!
Un beso!
