anyway here is my inspirational piece, but do hop over  to the main challenge site to see the rest of the amazing inspiration from my sister meeces :)

I decided that sparkle meant only one thing Xmas and glitter, so I made a Xmas card and again lots going on with this one :)
Base colour coffee pearlescent paper, the designer papers are from my stash although don't think you can actually see them as I got so carried away with delicious embellishments :(
I added a doily from my stash
Lace from the Hobby House although not currently in stock.
Flowers from my stash in white but added stickles
and a pin, liquid appliqué and nesties to complete the look
