Setting the scene with Diva's by Design

Hello again,

Big changes for me in the next few months!  I am soooo excited, change is always good in crafting, new directions, new inspiration, keeping designs fresh :D 

But...back to the task at hand!

The Diva's by Design Challenge Blog launches it's new challenge today and the theme is a Photo Inspiration!  The photo can be found below my DT inspiration :D

Just a word about the Diva's by Design challenge blog, it's quite sad at the moment because the boss Rebekah has decided to close the blog at the end of the year :(  Life gets busy and time is not on her side so the challenge will close.  It's sad, and I have loved working with Rebekah but it means that I will have time to reflect and look out for new opportunities.  So I send a massive hug to Rebekah and my super talented teamies xxx

But....back to my interprestation of the Photo Inspiration...I took some of the essential elements from the photo, Christmas swags, presents, ribbon and sparkle and this is what I came up with.....


I know...another CAS (clean and simple) card from me..the Queen of embellies!  Its must be catching lol :D

Here's the Photo Inspiration for you all:
And Here's what I used to make mine:
Image: Hollybobs Presents digi stamp from Polkadoodles, which is a part of the gorgeous Work and Play 5 Festive Hollybobs collection
Coloured: with my Graph'it Marker Pens (the reds are so lush)
Sentiment: Work and Play 5 Festive Hollybobs collection from Polkadoodles
Backing: stash white card, red card and gold card (not mirri as I'm not a fan)
Presents: My 15yr old daughter Zoe made tiny 3D boxes for me from 160gsm paper, the papers are also from Work and Play 5 Festive Hollybobs
Ribbon swag: I picked this up from The Range, in their Christmas decs range :D  always looking for embellies lol

Close up pics to show you the details:
