Happy Christmas to everyone from the Creative Fingers Design Team

Happy Christmas everyone.

I am scheduling my blog to go earlier than the Creative Fingers blog so the people in my time zone will see this earlier on Christmas day.

The Creative Fingers blog will go live at 10 am UK time which is 9 pm here in Sydney.

I swiped Distress inks over a clear block and spritzed with water.  Wiped card over the block.
Sponged stars through stencil.
Stamped Lavinia Stamps LAV082 Christmas night and LAV022 Fir tree, Hero Arts Happy Christmas.
Added rhinestones to tree.

I hope you will go over to Creative Fingers after 9pm (Sydney time) - 10 am UK time and see the other Christmas cards by the design team.
