Happy Hump Day Peeps!!
Today I am sharing a card I made using the Merry Monday Challenge this week.
Use Black, gold and Silver! I knew I want to play along this week when I took a peek at the challenge. I love these colors for Christmas, well the gold and silver and with the added black I thought it would be fun!
When I thought about what to do for my card, well let me say what I finished up with is NOT what I started out with but I do like my finished card so I guess that is all that matters in the end!! LOL!!
The base of the card is Basic Black and then I used a layer of the SU silver foil paper and then another layer of black.
I stamped the poinsettia flower from the Joyful Christmas with my Gold and Silver Encore pads onto black card stock. I cut them out and layered them up putting a dimensional between the large and small layers.
I added some gold little pearls to the center and cut a few swirls and leaves with the gold foil to tuck in around the flower.
The sentiment is from the same set and I stamped it with Silver ink.
I made my ribbon treatment with the 1/8 inch silver ribbon and added a couple of frosted jungle bells. I attached then to the bow with some silver wire. I curled the wire around a small wooden skewer to make the curls.
This card with definitely need to be hand delivered or I may need to make a special envelope/box for it.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Vicki - what a gorgeous use of this stamp set! Could you tell me where the the swirls and leaves come from? I can't place them readily, and having just moved, I'd have to lift a fair number of boxes to get at my framelits and dies. Thanks for this.
