Are you ready to play this week's Pals Paper Arts Inspiration Challenge (PPA68)? Be sure to check out additional inspired samples from the PPA Design Team by clicking here. I based today's card on the unique color palette of this sumptuous holiday d?cor.
My holiday paper crafting marathon continues and I PLAY FAVORITES! Season of Friendship stamp set is one of my all time favorite Stampin' Up! stamp sets. If you use the "search blog" tool on my left side bar and insert "season of friendship," you'll see many of my most popular cards.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
Simple punched circles (3/4") give this holiday card a modern twist.
- The pattern on the bird is a combination of VersaMark and the Punch Potpourri stamp set (Hostess Level 1)
- I popped out a Rich Razzleberry 1/2" circle (fits perfectly in the Big Designer Button) and layered a pattern of Basic Rhinestone jewels on top.
- A lone rhinestone dots the bird's wing and plays up the sparkle of the button.
