I've been dying to play in Flourishes FLLCNOEL5 "Blue Christmas" challenge. You must use Flourishes stamps, and luckily I have two sets of their holiday stuff.
The gold embossed pinecone is from All That Glitters, and the sentiment is from Sleigh Ride.
I followed the sketch from Repeat Impressions S810:
At Ooh La La Challenge Blog (OLLCB) #62, we are to use stripes. I have white-on-white striped paper behind the main focal point, under the rhinestones.
The designer papers are from Stampin' Up but for one; it is from my much-guarded stash of Anna Griffin paper. I can't believe I cracked it open.
I did make two of these cards, but they're not quite identical. The three squares of paper under the Fancy Tag, turned so they're diamond-shaped, are the difference. This version looks a bit too plain, I think.
For the sentiment, I used my new Spellbinders Fancy Tags dies. Wow, are they nice to work with! Small rhinestones and pearls dressed it up even more.

I don't have too many Christmas cards made for this year. Time is passing quickly by, and those cards aren't going to make themselves. Perhaps I should focus on that!
How's your holiday card-making going?
