Christmas Card Challenges - Anything Goes

Happy Sunday after Christmas.   I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas day.  Today we have a new challenge at Christmas Card Challenges and it is "anything goes".   I love making Christmas cards all year long and this is a good way to build your stash and you have them all ready when Christmas is here again.

Here is my card for this week's challenge.

The card base is SU Always Artichoke, the mat is Crumb Cake and the DSP is from a retired Christmas pack, and the ribbon is Crumb Cake Seam Binding.  The greeting is from an Inspired By Stamping set stamped in Always Artichoke ink.  It is cut with an MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags die.  I ran it back through to cut the other end.  The flower is made with MFT Poinsettia die from SU Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive CS.  The yellow is a piece of scrap.  All the edges were inked for more detail and it was mounted with foam tape.  The border is punched with a Martha Stewart punch and I added tiny pearls to each point.

Now check out all the fabulous cards by my teammates over at Christmas Card Challenges.  I hope you will be inspired to play along with us
