For some reason I got it in my head to make Christmas cards with non-traditional colors this year. I used the Crafts 4 Eternity sketch and added die cut shapes for the One Stop Craft Challenge. My scalloped circle came from the Cricut Mini Monograms cartridge and the octagon shape is from the Going Places cartridge. (It's the stop sign shape from the cartridge). I used basic cardstock in medium grey, light grey, pink and white. The dark grey octagon shape was embossed with the Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder. After embossing it I sanded the top to let the white core show through for some texture. The Christmas tree image is a clear acrylic stamp that I got at Jo-Ann's but I don't know who makes it. It reminds me of those aluminum Christmas trees they had back in the day. I added pink rhinestones onto the ornaments for some bling and then I used glitter around the circle. My sentiment is computer generated. I embellished the card with an organdy bow with a little silver sparkle in it.
