House of Cards and Paper Players

House of Cards is hosting a blog hop and is having a DT call- I am glad I found out about this  - just in time.......I have played in their challenges in the past, but lately I did not get a chance.....but lately I have not gotten to do much card making anyhow. Perhaps after the Holidays are over I'll manage to have more time in my craft room. One can always hope.....

So here is the inspiration picture - very elegant and festive - it calls out for a Christmas card!

And here it is:

I took several pictures in an attempt to capture the glitter and shine of this card.

The square under the wreath is glimmer paper and the wreath is die cut with two different types of glitter paper.

I added some gems and a pearl.  I like it very much - I hope you do, too!

And as luck will have it my card also fits the Paper Players theme:

And, because I used some Snippets its going into the Snippets Playground

I am also linking this card with  the CHNC challenge extra for December - Anything Christmas and the

  regular CHNC challenge - whatever is urgent to make and aren't Christmas cards right now urgent?
