Stars for the CCC!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and your day has been good.

It's time once again for the Christmas Card Challenge, don't they come around quick, anyway, Sylvie is our hostess this time and she would like to see Stars on our cards, here are mine;

I've created this little scene with Card-io stamps from the Star Gazing set. DI for the sky and white gel pen to make some stars. 
The star stamp is from a Creative Stamping magazine the other year. I stamped it with gold ink and added gold glitter. Sentiment from a Tonic Studio set. Inked the background with DI and added some star gems in gold.
I hope they will do Sylvie, it was a lovely challenge and I did enjoy it.

Please have a look at what the other girls create, they always have fabulous cards.
If anyone would like to join out little band, please get in touch with me and I will let you know how to do just that. It's a great way to get ahead before the big day and ease the pressure of Christmas Card making.

Thank you all for your lovely comments on my last card, I do so appreciate them all.

That's me for now, enjoy the rest of your weekend,
