Christmas Clarissa Bubble Bloom

When I posted my Clarissa Bubble Bloom birthday card a few days ago, Colleen commented it could be made Christmassy.  I've used the stamp many times over the years, but never for a Christmas card so I've changed the colours and sentiment to make a card for the CAS on Friday 'Christmas with Non-Holiday Items' challenge.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white matt card blank
     Woodware 'Bubble Bloom - Clarissa' and 'Festive Verse' stamps
     Versafine Vintage Sepia ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
     Card Candi
     Gold metallic pen
     Glossy Accents
     Lili of the Valley 'Classic Christmas' paper 
     Snippet of white matt card

I used brown ink to stamp the flower and sentiment onto a snippet of white matt card before embossing them with clear embossing powder.  The panel was trimmed, layered onto dark green paper and attached to the centre of the card blank.  I stamped the leaves onto another piece of green paper, fussy cut them and attached them to the card.  I attached red and gold Card Candi to the larger flower circles.  I coloured the smaller circles with a gold metallic pen before adding Glossy Accents.  

I am entering the following challenges:
     AAA Cards - Christmas/Winter
     Allsorts - Anything Goes
     CAS on Friday - Christmas with Non-Holiday Items (I've used my birthday stamp)
     Daisy Chain Challenge - Christmas and/or Winter
     Krafty Chicks Challenge - CAS
     Sparkles Monthly Challenge - Christmas Florals
     Stamping Sensations - Anything Goes

This looks pretty in Christmas colours too Kath and the red and gold card candi mixed with the gold gel pen bubbles look great, and the rich green matted layer and the paper pieced leaves cut from the same paper makes it beautifully coordinated. x
