Today's quick card was made for 3 challenges. It is not often that I can combine 3 challenges, especially when most have a sketch...But this time At Just Add Ink they have a Blue & Bling! challenge, which will be great teamed up with the Stampin Royalty Challenge, which is a picture for inspiration:
And I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches
Here is the finished blue blingey result :-) (no 42. at Freshly Made Sketches)
As soon as I say the blue and bling and the blue theme at JAI and Stampin Royalty I knew I wanted to use the winter stamp from the new Hostess set Four Seasons. It is quickly becoming one of my favorites, and I think my Christmas cards this year will be either this one or Come to Bethlehem, which is my all time Christmas Favorite!!
I will also enter this card into the Christmas Stampin all Year Long challenge 23, Anything Goes

You certainly captured blue and bling Renate :) The rhinestoned snowflakes really capture the eye and I just love that little touch of the red santa hat for the bird ;) Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
