My card came wrapped like this (I've wrapped it back-up for the photo, it had a much better bow)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Millburn/Card%20swaps/SS1.jpg

The first view, the greens and golds in the paper & on santa are painted with shiny pearlised paints that just glimmer away at you, and the stamp is off set with wee gems

then you open the card to see this beauty, the JOY looks almost like steel and glimmers blue at you, again the stamp has the added glimmer of pearl paints, and a lovely irridesant glitter

It must have taken hours, it's almost 2 cards in one and I adore it, it is getting odd looks; a Christmas Card sitting on the TV in July

Oh when this Secret Santa is revealed can they please remember to tell me where they got that stunning stamp. He looks like a proper pagan green man stamp to me and I WANT HIM.

Oh yes and this card is a stunner!

Lovely, traditional card - very festive and wintry-looking! As you say, Millburn, a lot of work has gone into that :nod:

Well, I'm going to start the guessing! I'm bound to be rubbish as I don't really know too much about everyone's styles yet!

I think this card was made by LittleJan.

A beautiful card, really love all the different elements and the stamp is great, traditional but unusual.

Okay, time for me to own up, it was me who made this card for Millburn :grin:

The background papers are DCWV and the ribbons I bought ages ago from Matalan, I think. They were half price in the post Christmas sales!

Millburn I'm so glad you liked your SS. I really enjoyed making it for you :nod:

Looby the stamp I bought years ago and never used it until this SS swap. It's a wooden one and I think I got it as part of a kit from QVC. If you pm me with your address, I will send him to you so you can stamp out some images for yourself. I'd offer to stamp some for you, but my stamping isn't great and I don't have what I call "proper" card for stamping onto yet.
