White glitter Christmas

This card was prompted by Crafty Ann 48: it's be all white on the night (hope it's OK that there is also some silver).

This is also for Margaret's challenge for the Christmas card gang: All white with a touch of glitter - if you want to know more about the gang, please get in touch with one of us on my list in the sidebar.

Having looked in a big box of crinkly, handmade papers that I've had for years, when I made a card the other day, I remembered that I had some white with glittery snowflakes - unfortunately, it wasn't wide enough for my card, so I used the strip of wide silver ribbon so that I could cut and use the glittered paper either side of it (no one would know that the paper didn't go all the way across).

I also found a square of textured white paper - I had no idea whether I could successfully stamp on this, but had a go with an Anna Griffin stamp inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver - looks much better irl.

This is also for:
