It's all about the turquoise sentiment

I've based this card on the sketch for Fairy tale challenge 3:
It's for this week's Daring Cardmakers 'turquoise is December's birthstone'. I love turquoise, but have to admit I don't use it that often in crafting - think I should use more of it.

The snowflake background paper is Kate Knight from her Christmas collection. The sentiment panel was part of a QVC kit. It has a grey looking background, so I used chalk ink to colour it. As the sentiment is the focal point of the card I'm linking for Polka doodles 48: all about the sentiment.

It says: Christmas waves a Magic wand over this world and behold, everything is stofter and more beautiful.

The larger star top right was from my Christmas stash from long ago, but the other three stars were punched from a textured matt silver card - this is for Totally Papercrafts 45, which asks us to use Xmas punches, Paper prettties: 'punches' and Prairie fairy 41: use a star.


It's also for:
