Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #44

Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge #44 has wrapped up tons of the magic of Christmas in their photo inspiration!  I DO believe!!


I cut out this Dash Away die from dark grey card, then added silver 
heat embossing for the magic!



I found this sweet little Santa and his Reindeer die in my supplies and knew he was perfect for an appearance above my midnight forest of trees!

I'll be back with second helpings - hope you don't mind!

I just left a lovely comment and Blogger swallowed it. Let's try again. Your card is magical and breathtaking. I love the way the stars atop the trees are illuminated. The dash away die in silver is brilliant. I could not love this more.

Both this card and your 2nd helpings card are pure magic Michele! I love the deep, dark colors that evoke evening and the chill in the air, but at the same time the warmth of Christmas! Both are lovely, lovely cards!! Hugs. :0)

Oh, the magic! No doubt Santa is on his way to the houses in your second helpings card. How absolutely beautiful! I don't know what it is about my love of a forest. It seems such an enchanting place.

Wow, this is fantastic, Michele! The dark green background with sparkly silver elements is just so beautiful! I love that you used Stormy Sky for sponging. I think the color and the glowing effect are perfect!

If I were ever lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Santa and those fabulous reindeer on Christmas Eve I am sure it would look like this gorgeous card!
