This card is for two challenges, the colour challenge found here CC623 - PERFECT ISLAND PARTIES - 2/21/17 by Karen B Barber at Splitcoaststampers
when I saw the colours Karen had chosen for this week they just screamed Christmas to me, although most colours scream Christmas to me so I guess that wasn't all that surprising.
Gorgeous colours that have worked well and I had the perfect DP too.
The touch of gold glitter lent itself perfectly for the stars which are done with Wink of Stella gold.
The second challenge this card covers is the Sketch Challenge found here Sketch Challenge 633 {02/22/2017} by thecircleguru at Splitcoaststampers
A perfect design to highlight an image so that is what I did.
I tried to stay as true to the Sketch as possible. I mounted the Perfect Plum and diagonal DP with the ribbon and image onto some craft foam before placing this onto the background DP from the SU All is Calm set which I had previously mounted onto some X-Press It Blending card as the base of the card and that's all folks

Love these pretty colors. It was hard for me to get into snowmen this winter, as we hardly got any winter this year in my area. Snowmen are a rare sight anyway, but I love them and like to use them during our cold spells. I love the use of the diagonal stripes. Always an eye grabber for me.

Gorgeous! Excellent take on the sketch; love the beautiful ribbon used for the strip. Terrific use of the colors. Love the snowman and it works great in these colors. You are so cute - most colors scream Christmas to you. Love that. You can easily see beyond red & green for Christmas. Love what you did here. TFS

This is so fresh looking, Marg! The snowman is adorable and beautifully colored and the deep hued bow is the perfect embellishment, while the diagonal striped in your dp add so mych extra interest.
