sketch 140

Well it's not long till we have  Christmas on our doorstep...  So I betta start on the Christmas cards and why not start using the challenges I enter to try out new ideas.  I had some old chrissy trees from many years ago.  What betta way to use them again by using copic pens and glitter to brighten them up again.  Was meaning to use liquid pearls but forgot to put them on.  This card was made for the sketch 140 over on http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/
