Christmas again at Fab'n'Funky Challenge #235

Hi everyone,

I'm back after a week in the Bahamas and am still on island mode.

What a fabulous time we had with our 

group of 23 wedding guests there for our Son's wedding.

The ceremony was on the beach, the weather was perfect.....cloudy skies but no rain, great for pictures.  

I hardly had my bags unpacked when I started into

 this week's DT requirements. I think I left my mojo on the beach somewhere

 so it's been slow and steady.

I choose to make a CAS card for today's 

Fab'n'Funky Challenge 

where the theme is Christmas

We have two wonderful sponsors this week.

StampArt Design by Kathryne

and

Dilly Beans

I choose to use a digital stamp from Dilly Beans #509 Amalia's Christmas Lights which can be found here.

Coloured with Copics, machine stitching around the image and Spellbinders Back to Basics Tag used for the sentiment created in Word.  I used glossy accents on the lights and red rhinestones for the holly, pretty cas but I'm happy with it.

I would like to enter the following challenges: 

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Bingo ( Ribbon, rhinestones, die cut) 

Thanks for checking in today.  I'll be back shortly with my post for TPS.

hugs,
