Christmas Flourish

My life has some semblance of order to it right now, so I took advantage of it this morning to make a couple cards. This one is a Christmas card for my growing stash. I am entering it into these challenges:

Merry Monday
Mojo Monday
Heart 2 Heart - Flourish Challenge
52 Christmas Card Throwdown


This is a 3/4" x 6" card for the Mojo Monday tall/skinny card challenge. The challenge at 52CCT called for metallic papers. I don't have any accept this glitter paper, so I hope it counts! I used Lagoon for my aqua for the aqua/silver/white challenge at Merry Monday. The flourish is from Circle of Love stamp set, and the sentiment is from the Frosted WOTG stamp set. I used Lagoon ink to stamp both. The layered papers on the bottom are cut with the CTMH scallop border punch.



Materials used:
Cardstock: Lagoon, White Daisy
Stamps: Circle of Love, Frosted WOTG
Ink: Lagoon
Other: Teal Satin Ribbon, Scallop Border Punch, Silver Shimmer Paper
