I squeezed in one more card over the weekend because I just couldn't walk past the pale blue and red color challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown! I did end up going more aqua vs. a true blue. I had the little snowflakes cut and adhered before I decided the bottom layer of the card needed to be colored and true blues just didn't work with my little snowflakes!
I used the Decorated Pine dies from Stampin' Up that I believe are retired. I love the dies - I didn't even get the stamp set, but just the dies have a lovely pine branch and multiple ornaments. I did the ornament in a subtle glitter paper and added little snowflakes in blue. I back them with two other sets and an embossing folder from Stampin' Up. The sentiment set is still available - it's Brightest Glow. If you follow me, you know I am passionate about my sentiments and this is one special. I LOVE the font and the unique sayings!
Thanks to 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for inspiring me to use some of my favorite products!
