Pearly Sparkles November Challenge ~ Add Some Sparkle and Shine

Hi Crafty Friends,
Here's another Christmas card for the Pearly Sparkles "Add Some Sparkle and Shine" November challenge.

This amazing bow/ribbon die set is from Jaded Blossom. I die cut the pieces using foil and glitter papers. There are several choices for the tail lengths as well as bow layering options.  I think this will be a "go-to" die set!!  I've also used JB's fun new Trendy Christmas Tree stencil with Distress Texture Paste in Sparkles and a sentiment from their new A Gift for You sentiment set.  These products made for a quick yet stunning holiday card.
