December Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 The challenge at Card Chain Challenge was a Tic-Tac-Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, meaning we're challenging ourselves with a 5 X 5 grid.

To challenge yourself and also make new friends across the world, check out the Card Chain Challenge blog.  I love receiving a hand-made card, so much better than a store-bought card.

It took me awhile to decide what to make, but I finally fell in love with this Winter house all done in glitter papers set onto a flocked vellum onto a matt red base.  I got two in one for both red and gold glitter papers.  I die-cut those cute birds and stamped and colored Santa Clause who is perfect for the doorway.  I used a fuzzy embossed vellum behind the windows.  I spent a lot of woman-hours die-cutting each single piece since I made 7 different houses (it took me several days), but I am soooo happy with these.  Making sure the different pieces stick is one little problem when working with glitter paper, but I'd do it again!

The birds are not part of the Winter house set, but they are perfect little birds to cheer up the house.
