Gold and Glimmer!

It is time for another Hot Mess card and this is card number 5.   The idea of Hot Mess ~ Success started with Kelly making a card and using the #hotmess on her Instagram post.  The general theme is to Get Messy and you will have Success!  Messiness can be almost anything that we come up with--glitter, alcohol inks, glimmer glitz, sponged backgrounds, etc., anything that is a bit messy.  We are a group of 4--Terry, Jeanette, Kelly and me. We will post a card each month on the 12th. Some times there is a theme-like this month.  And, other times we just get creative and messy! 

For this month's messiness, Kelly issued a challenge.  Make a card by using gold or silver with sparkle or glimmer.  I used Gina K Designs Gold Glitz Glitter Gel and a great stencil from TCW called Mini Sheet Music for the background. I love the texture of the Glitz and the musical pattern is so fun--perfect for Christmas Card!  I added the sentiment from Stampabilities O Holy Night as it is one of my absolute favorite Christmas Carols!

Here is the inside of my card, with a Christmas sentiment:
