Saturday and that MUST mean, it's the weekend - ENJOY!

Morning readers,

I've a make to share with you today ... a 12 Days of Christmas make - this one uses the "5 gold rings" element from the Penny Black set, it's been languishing at the back of the drawer for just too long, rather like the embossing folder too, I thought the folder worked well with the "circular" theme of my card.

Materials used:

• 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in white and red, for my card front, insert and matting layer
• Snippets of card in white and red, for my image panel, sentiment and embossed panel
• Unbranded nesting circle dies in plain and faux stitched edged - to cut my image panel and matting layer
• Penny Black "5 gold rings" image (from 12 Days of Christmas - often neglected but such a fab set) stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
• Stamplorations sentiment (from "Oh Christmas tree") stamped on to a white snippet using Versafine Clair strawberry ink, fussy cut out using scissors and then attached to my card front using dimensional foam tape
• Snippet of red card run through my Big Shot inside a Sizzix/Tim Holtz circles embossing folder and then "swiped" with Brilliance galaxy gold ink to add a gold highlight sheen to the embossed sections of the strip
• Faber Castell polychromos pencils used to colour my image, the gold ring was coloured with a gold glitter gel pen
• Stardust stickles to add sparkle to the "sparkler" of the ring!
