So... i challenged myself...

... to make a Christmas card without the regular red and green. I used my FAVE... the 'bug for the embossed snowflake background.Then I sponged ink over the embossing to highlight the snowflakes. I used a SU jumbo wheel on the darker blue paper to make the words, tore it and then inked the edges. I used the SU scallop punch and the So Many Scallops set, punched out the middle after I stamped it on white.Then I glued it to the light blue with a LARGE pop dot. I tied the ribbon, added some BLING and there you have it! I like the idea of creating something that is different than the norm... I have ALWAYS "colored outside of the lines"... I think it adds to the project to do something unexpected! Thanks for looking...
