Endless Wishes for CCMC276

It's Thursday already, this week is just flying by!  There is a new challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a color challenge using Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Smokey Slate.

I made a Christmas card using the new Photopolymer set Endless Wishes.  I like using both traditional and non-traditional colors together.

Aren't these snowflakes beautiful?!  I originally bought this set because of the versatility of the greetings, but the snowflakes are amazing too!  Here's the details.

1.  Used Coastal Cabana as the card base.  Added a layer of Smokey Slate as a matting for the Whisper White.

2.  The Whisper White layer is stamped with two of the snowflakes.  The larger snowflake is in Coastal Cabana and the medium snowflake is Smokey Slate.  I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of all the snowflakes to make them pop.

3.  The greeting is stamped in two parts with Smokey Slate and Real Red.  I punched it out with the Extra Large Oval Punch.  I layered it on a Smokey Slate circle, punched with the 1 3/4" circle punch.  The final layer is the smallest of the Deco Label Framelits in Real Red.

4.  I added Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine then the greeting which is adhered with dimensionals.

I love the simplicity of the design with the pop of Real Red to make it come alive!  I hope you will join the challenge with me.  You can find all the details for it at Create with Connie and Mary.  While you are there be sure to check out the beautiful projects they previewed for the Winter Collection 2013.  They have so many gorgeous ideas to share and the Winter Collection, as with all their collections, is an amazing value.  Here's the details.
