Good Sunday morning my stamping friends.  How is everyone’s weekend going?  Did anyone do anything fun yesterday?  Things have cooled down here a bit, it’s only been in the 80’s, so it’s a little easier to get things outside done.

I have another Christmas card for you today and I played with another new bundle for using some non-traditional colors.  Here’s my card for today.

My sketch is from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #380.  Those of you that know me, knot that I just love layering and this design was perfect for me.  Here is their sketch.

My colors were inspired by CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #382.  I love taking non-traditional Christmas colors and trying to make a card with them. Here are their colors.

I started by adhering a panel of the Wonder of the Season Specialty Designer Series Paper to a Garden Green card base using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a panel of Blushing Bride Subtle 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to a Garden Green Mat.  I embossed a small panel of Whisper White cardstock using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Garden Green mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the snowman image from the Stampin’ Up! Snow Wonder Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I colored the holly leave on the hat in using my Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker.  I colored the scarf, hat and berries on the holly in using my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker.   I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Christmas Cling Stamp Set on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and cut it out using the smallest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I adhered it to a Garden Green mat that I cut out using the smallest scallop oval from the Layering Ovals Dies.

I adhered the matted Blushing Bride panel to the card front using Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the ‘Tis The Season DSP panel over the 1st panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.  I adhered the matted embossed panel on top of the other 2 using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the snowman to the top of the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the sentiment overlapping the snowman and DSP panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Glue Dots.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel.  I stamped the snowflake image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Blushing Bride Ink, stamping off once, on the corners of the panel and on either side of the sentiment.  I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Garden Green card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope.  I stamped the snowman image from the Snow Wonder stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on the envelope front.  I colored the image in using my Garden Green and Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker.  I adhered a panel of ‘Tis The Season DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
