December Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends!

Let's welcome December and the start of another round of challenges over at STAMPlorations. Here is my DT piece for this month's Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge ...

The theme for the current challenge is Stamps & Shimmer and the photo prompt can be seen below. Your project can either be inspired by the theme, photo prompt or both. The full challenge rules can be found here on the STAMPlorations Blog.

My card was inspired by both the theme and the photo prompt. The photo itself made me think of Christmas cookies which are represented in the star and the small Christmas trees. The Joyful Christmas Typographia sentiment stamp had roughly a Christmas tree outline and the shimmer comes from the little gem I used to finish my card off.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

In order to be considered for a prize, make sure you've followed the rules here.
