Scrapping4Fun - #30 Bling

Hello fellow crafters!  The Holiday season is fastly approaching here in the States.  Thanksgiving to fatten us up and then Christmas to fatten us up even more.  My family will start coming in next week, so it's going to get busy with me cooking for everyone.
There is always time for a fabulous challenge.  For the next 2 weeks at Scrapping4Fun Challenges, we want to see some "BLING".

I went with a bling tree, due to the inspiration picture.

This tree has alot of bling and is the inspiration picture.  

The image is from Stampin' Up from the stamp set called Snow Swirled.  I just think this image is beautiful and I have used it in the past.  As you can see, I added lots of fancy die-cuts to compliment the tree.  

Besides the bling on the tree, there is also some around the sentiment and a brad wrapped around the ribbon.  I thought about added more, but I was worried about it being too much.  I also didn't want traditional Christmas colors, just wanted something different.

Here's the inside.  I decided to make a few more to give as my Christmas cards and thought about adding the ribbon in the inside of the card.  (Without the brad and crunched up part, just leave it flat.)  I'll have to see what it looks like and of course a Christmas sentiment will be added.

thanks for looking and reading :o)
