Non-Traditional Christmas

It seems like when folks think of Christmas, they think of ornaments, Santa, snow, Christmas trees, lights, sparkle, that sort of thing. While those elements are very pretty and festive, some folks just aren't into all the glitz and shine.

So, I made this card. I got the idea from another card that I got from a friend but wanted to try something a bit different for Christmas. I think I succeeded. Hope you like it.

The patterned paper (Cottage Wall) is punched with the photo corner punch and the large corners are attached to Shimmer White CS, point to point in the center to make a "cross." Solid colors are punched and the corners are attached to make a "square." The center flowers are punched using the Boho Blossoms Punch. The blossoms are attached to the main element with a gold brad. This is then matted onto a piece of Rich Razzleberry. The card base of Old Olive has a mat of Rich Razzleberry attached to it and the finished punched element is attached to the top of the card. The phrase from Heard From The Heart is stamped at the bottom in Rich Razzleberry ink.

Recipe:
Stamps: Heard From The Heart
Paper: Cottage Wall DSP, Shimmer White, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry
Ink: Rich Razzleberry
Accessories: Gold Brad, Boho Blossoms Punch, Photo Corner Punch
