Sparkle and Shine at Country View

Hello to you all, We have a new challenge starting today over at Country View Challenges and our theme for this month is
Sparkle and Shine
I have made a Christmas card today

I started by masking a moon and making my background with Weathered Wood Distress ink,I then stamped some rocks .

Next I stamped in the tree trunks , fir trees and some more rocks all this stamping was done in Weathered wood..I am trying to make it look misty and frosty

I then stamped in the stag and some grasses


I have gone round the edges and corners with Black soot Distress ink to frame my picture.. I Then stamped my sentiment and went in with a glue pen and glitter where I thought the frost would be.
I do hope you visit the rest of the DT blogs,there is lots of amazing inspiration.xxx

I am entering this into
