Christmas Card Challenges #13

Don't you think the inspiration photo for this week's Christmas Card Challenge is gorgeous?  I purple and white.  It makes for a very pretty non-traditional Christmas card.

For my card I used a Whisper White card base and added a layer of Elegant Eggplant cardstock.  The Christmas tree was made using Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  The rhinestones are mounted onto some cardstock and the tree is popped up using dimensionals.  I stamped the sentiment from the Complements of the Season stamp set from Waltzing Mouse onto Whisper White using Elegant Eggplant ink.  Then, I cut it out using the label die from the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies.  A few more rhinestones and it was all done.  Very simple but I do love the sparkle.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenges #13

Well, it's Sunday again and time for another Christmas Card Challenge.  This week we have Winter Hues.  These are some of my favorite Christmas colors when I'm not sticking strictly to traditional.  The text on the bottom banner was a happy accident.  I was going to use the other side, which is a solid tan color, but discovered the text so incorporated it instead.  

Stamp Set:  Christmas Lodge (retired); Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar; Card Stock:  Santa's List Designer Pad (Teresa Collins), Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Paper-Piercing Tool, SNAIL Adhesive, Dimensionals

I do hope you can join us for this week's Christmas Card Challenges #13.  We'd love to see what you create using this lovely color scheme.

The sketch I used is from My Favorite Things.
