Trimming the Tree

Bargains galore on this one, it's those £2 Tulip papers again along with a mag freebie stamp!
 The image has been coloured with Promarkers (of course!) and then highlighted with Stickles in Yellow, Christmas Red and Star Dust.  I couldn't resist decorating the tree with some gems for baubles and adding some shiny red berries to the holly, well, if Christmas isn't the time for a bit of bling when is?!
I kept the layout quite simple adding a bit of interest with a punched holly border, done with a Martha Stewart punch along with some bright red ribbon, a bow and some red gems and pearls.  A sentiment stamped with a Papermania stamp finished it it off.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -

Get Inky - #2 - Bring on the Bling
Tammy's Scrappin' Corner - #59 - Bling It Up
Love to Create - #62 - Bingo - sentiment, ribbon, gems/bling

    What a great Christmas card (love the dog, too). You know, I didn't notice the holly berry border until I was reading your post. Went back through the pics and LOVE it. What a GREAT edge it makes.
    Thanks for the inspiration and for joining Tammy's Scrapin' Corner for "Bling It Up".
