Another holiday card finished, combining another two weekly challenges. Today's challenges used were the colors from The Paper Players (PP125) and this week's sketch from Mojo Monday (MOJO271). These colors were just so fabulous, I just love the light pastel with the rich, bold red!! I seem to be addicted to Verve's Christmas in the Air set as it keeps finding it's way back onto my desk.
About the CardThe base is an A2 in Pool Party followed by layers of kraft and DP from Teresa Collins - Christmas Cottage and My Mind's Eye - Be Merry. The circular panels were cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities circle dies and mounted over a doilie. The sentiment from Verve's Christmas in the Air was stamped on kraft in Onyx Versafine and cut out using Spellbinders Labels 1 dies. The snowflakes were stamped with Versamark ink and accented with rhinestones. The panel border was cut from Cherry Cobler using Spellbinders Labels 1 dies. The scalloped border was cut from Pool Party using Spellbinders lacy squares dies. Finally, ribbon, 10lb. twine, and aqua bells were added for bling!!
