Patriotic Christmas Card

Good Afternoon blogland!  Hope everyone is well and staying warm.  I think it has been cold in many places lately, including here.  We by no means get the cold that say Minnesota gets but it does get pretty chilly.  We have been in the high teens and low twenties the last couple of nights.  Which for us means lots of ice and not a lot of snowmelt.  My oldest has been out of school for three days, he likes it mostly but I think he is getting a bit bored. 

So I thought I would share a Christmas card I made a while back, it is a bit non-traditional in the color choices but I like how it turned out.  It uses Winter Swirls, Vintage Labels and a large dot from Polka Dot Basics. The color combo is Pure Poppy, Enchanted Evening, Dark Chocolate, Kraft, and Fresh Snow.  Very simple card design, I added some embossed strips to the middle before adhering the main panel. 

In order to make the Enchanted Evening ink a little less intense, I stamped it off once, I really like the look it created.  The star was punched out with theXL star punch from Fiskars, such a greate size!

Supplies:  Stamps - Winter Swirls, Vintage Labels, Polka Dot Basics; Ink - Fresh Snow, Enchanted Evening, Pure Poppy; Cardstock - Rustic White, Kraft, Pure Poppy, Enchanted Evening; Other - Rustic Button Twine, XL Star Punch (Fiskars), Scalloped Scallop Edge Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts), Scor-Pal

Have a wonderful day everyone!  Almost time for some Papertrey peeks, are you excited?  It is going to be fun this month!!

This is great. I love it. I love the color combo, non-traditional and I love how you stamped the sentiment over the filagree frills :)
I wish we were getting some of the snow. None here but that is expected in So. Cal. It all makes me want to move back to Alaska even more than I alredy do.
