Christmas Countdown-2 Days

It's Christmas Countdown and I didn't even make a Christmas card today! lol  I really liked the color combination at Stampin' Royalty, but it just didn't scream Christmas to me. :)  More floral.  I paired it with the sketch at Create with Connie and Mary.
I thought this was a cute little sketch.  I almost made a square card, but I almost never send those so I decided to just keep it a standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card. 

I am down to the bare bones of my Summer Smooches DSP but I still had some Island Indigo left! :)  I also had some Lucky Limeade brads leftover from last year's Sale-a-Bration to use on the tag. I love this little tag but I always forget to use it!  I wanted to add a few more flowers to my card so I stamped and cut out the little flowers from Summer Silhouettes and added some rhinestones to the centers for a little extra bling.

    I debated the same thing on keeping the sketch square or leaving it standard size. In the end I went with square but I like how the sketch turned out for your standard card too. The little cut flowers in the corner is a fun addition - mine was similar with punched flowers. Have a Merry Christmas and thanks so much for joining our challenge this week at Create with Connie & Mary!

    Those colors all look so good together along with the layers on the sketch challenge. Love the way you used an embossed layer to separate the 2 colors. Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie & Mary!
