Green and orange Christmas card

The great thing about all these challenges is that they inspire you to try new things and develop your own style. This card is quite different from my other cards, and I've used colours I would not normally use, but I love the way it turned out.

The layout for this card is based on last week's sketch no. 108 over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.


Materials used:
DPs – from an old Christmas paper pad of an unknown brand
Stamps – Clearly Hand Stamped from Crafter's Companion
Lacey ribbon – from the local bookstore ;-)
Button – Autum Leaves Play Time Buttons
Gold thread – Avec Twinkle thread
Inks – Ranger's embossing powder (gold)
and distress ink (clear, spiced marmelade & antique linen)
Brads – from my stash

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
CCAYR – 4/9
Crafter's Companion – Glitter & Glitz
Bling It On – ABC (A/Alphabet stamp, Brown ribbn/lace, Circles)
Nadia's Challenge Blog – Anything goes (2nd entry)
Craft Us Crazy – Anything goes
Top Tip Tuesday – Shabby chic (hope this card fits the theme)
Charisma Cardz – Glitter it!!
Crafty Catz – Metal and lace
Totally Gorjuss – As you like it
