This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Terelisa Agosti aka BiglietTERRYa into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog before you are sure in for a treat! It's choc full of fabulous eye candy!

I made a Christmas Card using a STAMPtember® Center Cut Holiday Icons Cling Stamp.

I used White Embossing Powder and White Pigment Ink to stamp the Holiday Icons onto Watercolor Paper and blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink over the top. I tore along the edge and used a Holiday Background Stamp and Stormy Sky Distress Ink to create a panel for the right side. For the focus I used an Alexis Snowflake, Soft Navy Card Stock, a generous sprinkling of glitter and finished with some machine stitching.

I used a white gel pen to write the 'Dyan Reaveley' inspired sentiment.

and I finished the inside using a Simon's Exclusive Yuletide Holiday Stamp Set

and made a matching envelope!

Thanks for looking!

So now it's YOUR turn to get creating!
