Non-Traditional Christmas Card

Welcome Back!

I've been pretty busy sewing Halloween costumes, making hair bows, and playing with my i-Top (which I love!).

Here is a Christmas card I made using non-traditional colors; hot pink, green, and blue. I chose the patterned paper first and then it went from there.


Here is a close up to show some of the detail.


Details:
5"x5" card base
DCWV Christmas stack (not sure what year, but it's not 2010) - cardstock and patterned paper. Pink dots paper is from my stash; not sure where it's from.
Create-A-Critter - bird cut at 1 3/4 inches
Spots and Dots and Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folders
ribbon from Michael's
Pink By Design "Christmas Wishes" stamp set for the sentiment
Peachy Keen Stamps Critter Faces
white gel pen
Martha Stewart edge punch (not sure of the name since I threw away all the packages)
i-Rock gems

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
More Than Favors Wacky Wednessday Challenge - Anything goes
Made By Momo Tuesday Challenge - Embossing
