Today's card combines three challenges from SCS this week (count 'em ... three!!!):
Monday's Technique Lover's Challenge (TLC401 - woven ribbon)
Tuesday's Color Challenge (CC399 - cherry cobbler, old olive, very vanilla)
Wednesday's Sketch Challenge (SC409)
I'm pretty proud of myself to combine that many challenges ... and with those colors, I HAD to make a Christmas card. :) Besides I still need quite a few more Christmas cards for this year.
"Holly Jolly Christmas"
Stamps: Handy Christmas Greetings (Amy R)
Paper: Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler (SU!)
Ink: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler (SU!)
Accessories & Tools: Big Shot, Curly-Q Border die and Holly & Berry die (C.C. Designs), sponges, 5/8" Old Olive satin ribbon, 1/2" Cherry Cobbler seam binding, sticky strips, glue dots and dimensionals
I cut two border dies from C.C. Designs (Curly-Q) and wove ribbon through (one Old Olive satin; one Cherry Cobbler seam binding). Love how it turned out ... makes for a pretty border and will probably use this again on another card. The holly leaves and berries are also a C.C. Design die and I just sponged around the edges to give them more depth.

One more quick thing ... my Room with a View card from Oct. 25 was picked for "A Cut Above" by Jaydee at Paper Players. Thanks Jaydee!!

This is like a key lime and cherry pie, Loll! It's a toss-up between ornaments and holly, which one I adore more on a Christmas card. This is pinned perfectable!!
Gorgeous creation Loll. Just love the way you've threaded the ribbon through the borders - so effective. Congrats on your "Cut Above" award.

Love this card, Loll! I like how you've done the loopy border, and that colour combo is so juicy. Congrats on the Cut Above award, your card was a stunner.
Beautiful card Loli, lovely sentiment and just love your ribbon threading

Congratulations on your win at Paper Players, Loll! This looks like another winner to me. Love the border with the ribbon woven through it and the sweet little holly!
