Decorating The Christmas Tree

Good Evening

Today I've finished off another Christmas card to add to my supply!





This is my entry for the current House Mouse and Friends Challenge which this time is to use buttons, bows and bling.

This is a large, square card which I made from white linen cardstock.  The backing paper, which is printed from the House Mouse inserts cd-rom from Joanna Sheen, is matted onto pearlescent gold cardstock.  The decoupage image is also from Joanna Sheen.  I made a double ribbon bow from narrow ribbon and attached to this the charm from my stash.  Three buttons were added to the card, with twine threaded through each.  Three pearls were added, in the same colour as the buttons and the baubles in the image.  A sentiment was then added to complete the card.

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:
