Festive Flurry for CCMC281

It's Thursday and time for a new sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.



I thought of Festive Flurry right away when I saw this sketch.  And as you already know, I LOVE this set!  I am enjoying non-traditional colors on the Christmas cards too, so I used some bold colors for this card.

I did an earlier challenge with Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush but  I went even bolder for today's challenge and used Melon Mambo with Bermuda Bay.

The Melon Mambo card base looks gorgeous with the Bermuda Bay DSP and Silver Glimmer paper.  I did a layered snowflake for the focal point.  The bottom and top layers are Melon Mambo and the center layer is Bermuda Bay.  There is a dimensional in between the layers to make the snowflake pop.

I added a Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the center of the snowflake, finishes it off beautifully.  Last component of the card is the greeting.  I stamped Christmas cheer with Melon Mambo on a strip of Whisper White,  then made it into a banner with the Hexagon punch.

I hope you will join me and do a card of your own with this week's sketch.  You can find all the details and more samples from the Design Team at Create with Connie and Mary.  Thanks for visiting today!



If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

This is really pretty! I love the look of non-traditional Christmas colors, too! And the bit of silver glimmer paper really makes it sparkle!
