Hello Everyone!! Today's card is one I made for the Dare to Get Dirty challenges at Splitcoaststampers and encompassed 3 challenges for Jeanne, Joanne and Deb. It is so good to get an early start on this year's Christmas cards and hopefully there won't be a last minute panic this year!! This is one of the July Release Christmas sets by JustRite Stampers called Rejoice. It's a ribbed set of four borders and four centres designed for the oval stamper. I just love the elegance of this set!
The base is made of Riding Hood Red, Gold, Very Vanilla (punched with Deco Fan punch) and Bo Bunny A Gift of Love DP. Across this I've added some Very Vanilla that I've pleated and added a little Antique Linen ink too. Across the top is some cream lace and red grosgrain ribbon. I've stamped the border in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and then coloured with a R39 Copic Marker. (I was going to airbrush it - then my aircan ran out! D'oh!!!). The centre from Rejoice was also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured with Copics (R29, R39, G24, G28). Then I added a little Gold Spica to the swirl. The border was popped up on foam tape to frame the centre. To finish I made some buttons out of Riding Hood Red and adhered them to the corner.

Beautiful Christmas card Kathy with such vibrant colours. Love that dsp.
Beautiful, rich colors and an elegant design perfect for the stamp. So pretty! I wish I would quit dragging my feet about the Christmas cards. At the rate I'm going, I'll be scrambling later!
I likey the lace, ribbon and pleating combo on this one, looks good with this LO!
