Pink Christmas twofer

I'm almost done posting my pink Christmas cards. I wanted to create a few cards using some of the patterned papers I have been hoarding for years, so I selected a few 6x6 papers and thought about a way to incorporate them into my cards.

I decided to keep things simple by having this pretty paper peak out from under my heat embossed (liquid platinum) sentiment panel. I die cut the mistletoe using an older die (CC Designs) from green linen cardstock and adhered it into the circle aperture. To finish off, I added a twine bow (with silver thread) and some rhinestones.

I was left with a smaller strip of patterned paper and had already die cut the mistletoe four times, so I decided to create a second card using my left-overs. I love how I've been able to create different looks using the same supplies.

 

I'm linking up my cards at:
