Jingle Belles Cool Yule and Mojo Monday 181

Hello again! This week, I'm using this card for two blog challenges ..

 Here is the Mojo Monday sketch:


Jingle Belles's guest designer Leslie gave us this color palette to work with:


Here's what I came up with:



I love using non-traditional colors for my Christmas cards and blues and browns combos are my favorite. My pale blue is Baja Breeze ,which goes barutifully with Crumb Cake ( aka. kraft) and white. I embossed the Crumb Cake background and sponged it with Crumb Cake ink for some dimension.The snowflake flourish stamp I purchased at a local scrapbook store  and it's actually a journalling stamp. I just added a 2.5" circle to cover the journallling area.I Glimmer Misted the flourish as well as the Baja Breeze strip.The sentiment and handcut snowflakes are from Stampin' Up!'s Snow Swirled set. The DSP strip is retired SU.
Finally, I added a few pearls ( Kaiser Craft) to the snowflakes and used the scallop border punch for the trim.

So I completed two challenges with just one card!!!! yay!

Have a great weekend and happy crafting!!!

    Wow. Just wow. I love that journalling stamp, and I would sooo have covered up the journalling part like you did! :) So many cool elements and techniques in one card! I found this sketch way too "too" for me - nice job!! And thanks for playing!
