I'm not blue, it's the card and the fabby ribbon kit from Angel Crafts
Before I show you what I've done with it - have you entered my candy yet? you'll find it here
The tree, ribbon and swirly stamp are all in the January "Touch of Blue" kit
I painted the tree with white acrylic paint, then covered in glamour dust while it was wet. I used Versafine to stamp around the edges of the blue core'dinations cardstock and clear embossed. Then stamped some more with versafine and white embossed - the white embossing powder stuck to some of the already clear embossed parts, but I think it gives a kind of frosty effect.
I ran a length of double sided tape across the card then concertina'ed the ribbon along it, then machine stitched to secure it.
And finally the greeting is Kaisercraft
here's a close-up to let you see the glamour dust a bit better

amazing card - so adorable! I like the glitter embellishments!
I love the way you have carried the swirl shape of the tree branches through into the embossed edges of the cardstock - very striking with the white & blue combination.

Hi Debbi
lovely card
Learned a new term today! I ddin't know that's what it's called when you gather the ribbon like that! Love it! Your glitter is amazing! I need to pull out some old chipboard and start glueing/painting/glittering!
Stunningly beautiful!
