Untraditional Christmas

Whew, having bronchitis has really put me under the gun in trying to get some cards in before the deadline!  Here's one I just finished and the theme I followed was Untraditional Christmas colors and I love the way it turned out!  Blue, Pink, and Purple are probably three of my favorite colors and I love the way blue looks mounted on brown.  I followed the sketch from Simon Says Stamp and I love the finished product!  The paper is from The Paper Element and it is Blue Flannel - Pajama Party.   I like it because it is double sided and I love the way they go together!  The sentiment is a digital stamp I found, but I can't remember where, I'm sorry!  I cut the brown circle mat out behind the sentiment using my classic circle spellbinders.  I distressed the edges of my image with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain and I cut it out using  my Deckled Rectangle Spellbinder.  The snowflakes are from Michaels in the Christmas section.


Here's another angle as well as a close-up of Secret Tilda (Sorry I had to take the flash off to reduce the glare on this one):



And here's the inside of my card, with an added bow and ribbon:



I hope you like it!
