Spotlight On Christmas

The last few posts have been very busy cards. I guess that must be how I am feeling, busy, lol. I have 4 challenges in today's card. The first is using the sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches. The second is the color combo from the Color Throwdown challenge. Black/white-melon mambo-kraft and crushed currey. The colors look great together. The third is Christmas in August for Dutch Dare Card challenge. The fourth is using any sketch at Fab's Big on Christmas Cards Challenge.

Stamp Sets: Spotlight On Christmas, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: whisper white, melon mambo, kraft, crushed currey
Ink: melon mambo, creamy caramel
Accessories: shimmery pearl paint[ new in holiday mini starts Sept 1st] scallop edge border punch, 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8" circle punches, paper piercer, melon mambo polka dot grossgrain ribbon, and the big shot texture swirl plate.
I lightly sponged the shimmery pearl paint onto the embossed image and then painted over the stamped image with the paint.
Thanks for stopping by, Happi Stamping,
Carol
