Merry

Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: Shimmer and Shine.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Love to Color.

 Here is my card:

I started with this adorable dragon all ready for Christmas!  I colored him up and fussy cut him out and added super fine diamond glitter to his hat and silver Nuvo glitter pen to his wings.  In real life you can see the sparkle and shimmer really well, but not so much in the photo.  You can see it a bit better in the photo below.  I used a matte gold cardstock for the base and mats--it's not a shiny as a gold cardstock, but it adds a subtle shimmer.  My gold ribbon has sparkly edges and I finished everything off with some shiny gold pearls.

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!
