Christmas Card Challenge

Happy Sunday!  There's a new challenge over on the Christmas Card Challenge blog this week.  We have this lovely photo as inspiration for you.  The first thing I saw was the colors.  I love brown and red together...who am I kidding?  I love brown with anything!  My favorite color!

There's an old paper pack from SU called Christmas Cocoa that I immediately thought of using, then changed my mind.  I've been wanting to try out this die cutting technique...I think I failed because you can't really see the die cut!  Oh well, you can see it when it's in your hand and that's what matters, right?  What I did was stamp various snowflakes in red, brown, and a second generation brown in the center of the cardstock.  Then I die cut the word "Merry" out of that piece and six times from scrap white cardstock.  I stacked all seven together and then placed it on top of the opening.  There is Wink of Stella shimmer on the die cut.



Here's a close-up so you can see it more clearly.
