Hi everyone and welcome to another week of Midnight Madness. Christmas is fast approaching-before you know it, it will be black Friday. My favorite shopping day of the year!!! lol This week I used an image from our Sponsor DRS Designs called Holly Hurricane. You can find this image here . We also have the pleasure of working with Papertemptress papers and my gold paper can be found here. Patricia has such yummy papers, I highly recommend you try them. You will be so pleased by the quality and service.

This is my card inside an acetate box I created with a belly band. I decided to make my belly band close with Velcro and I am so in love with that idea better than gluing it.

This is the luscious gold paper from Papertemptress. I embossed it with my cuttlebug swirly folder. I got the Lotus pendant for my Birthday which has been on my wish list forever!!! I cut two of those out and layered the image. I also got adventurous and tried a different stitch on m sewing machine!!! lol These gold sparkley leaves are from my stash from last year.

This is the inside of my card. I used a Martha Stewart PATP punch and the sizzx dies called Decorative Flourishes. I am loving this set as it is the perfect size for cards.
This is another picture of the box with the card outside. Thank you for stopping by today. I sure do appreciate it. Make sure that you start making your Holiday Shopping List for the special weekend coming up soon!!! lol
