I know fall is just barely in the air, but there have been a lot of Christmas-themed challenges out there and I couldn't resist!
This card was inspired by the great sketch provided by Pam and the gals at 365 Cards for the Super Sketchy Sunday challenge.
The fun challenge blog, Cute Card Thursday, challenged us to make this week's project Christmas-themed, so here we are!
I used my Scallop Trim Border punch to mimic the scalloped sides in the sketch.
**STUDIO SUGGESTION**: I added a quarter-sheet of Very Vanilla Card stock to the inside of this card to make the scalloped border of the front half stand out more. With darker card stocks (or recipients who might have trouble reading), it's often a good idea to use a lighter card stock inside on which to write your message.
Ribbon scraps are kept in a glass candy jar at my work station and I was thrilled to find this combination (I especially love the texture).
The pretty medallion in the upper right corner was created using the Hostess Set found in the 2012 Holiday Catalog, Mixed Medley. I stamped tone-on-tone with Cherry Cobbler for the big circle and again on Very Vanilla.
Paper Snips make cutting the flagged edges on my ribbon scraps super-easy.
