25 Days of Christmas: Day 10

Good Morning! How are y'all today? For today's card, I used the same collection of pattern papers that Kristina used on her "Tis The Season" card. I did, however, discover that there are a few papers that are in the 12x12 collection package that Kristina had and the 6x6 paper pad that I used. I really liked the unique design of this card. It's very unusual for a Christmas card I think; and I like the fact that it uses the unique combination of pattern paper as the focal point. One of my favorite things about stamping and creating, is that you get to throw out the usual color combination do's and don'ts. This is especially nice for the age old "don't" of mixing red and pink together. I think as a small girl, that was the one rule of fashion, I just never quite understood! In the crafting world though, red and pink are not only acceptable, they are encouraged and embraced. Yay!! I made a couple of other changes from the original card as well by using some scalloped pattern paper instead of punching an edge. I also used a wider ribbon; but I had a hard time getting it to tie in a bow and lay the way I wanted it to, so I decided to use some gold cord and tie that in a bow instead. All in all, a simple card that was a lot of fun to make!!
