Christmas Card

Here is a non-traditional take on a Christmas card. The color inspiration comes from Scrap Friends Blog. I can't wait to do a scrapbooking LO in these colors too. I used up some of my stash and scraps to complete this (always great when you have as much stuff as me and always want to buy more).

 I took a rectangle glitter card (DCWV) and traces out the decorative card and cut it out. I then used a piece scrap paper (blue) and traced the scallop boarder using a Kiwi Lane Design template, and cut it out. I then inked a piece of chipboard (Oriental Trading) with Stampin' Up Peach Parfait using a sponge. It then Stamped The saying (Stampin' Up) on white paper and cut it out with decorative scissors (scalloped, The Paper Studio). I punched a circle with my small circle punch (Creative Memories) with another piece of Scarp paper (pink).  I then added two gem stones from The Paper Studio.

 The flower is punched using a Stampin' Up punch on yellow and orange textured cardstock (from my stash, probably DCWV). I crumpled the top tow layers to give it dimension. I then pierced the center and place an orange glitter brad in the center (The Paper Studio) and glued it down with Glue Dots. 

 TO add a little more dimension, I added hand drawn stitching
