This is my card for CC864, Chris is our hostess and she chose bermuda bay, real red and basic black for her color trio. Dessert option this week is weathered. I used a distressed designer paper to cover the option.
For my card I used 2 new dies from CottageCutz. The Holiday Ice Skates Floral + the Merry Christmas w/Snowflakes dies coordinated nicely with the background designer paper and give it a more retro look.
I cut the images in the challenge colors. The Merry Christmas sentiment I cut 2x to give it a bit more dimension.
The background designer paper is from the Bo Bunny "merry & bright" collection. Added some bermuda bay sequins to finish off my card.
I hope you can play along with us this week. The colors provide so many options for designs.

Such a festive card and it captures both wintertime fun and Christmas all in one scene. Love your two new die sets and you featured them beautifully on this card. Makes me want to go find a pond and skate -- except I would probably fall without the railing to hold onto. LOL. Fabulous card.

Wow! I love the way this all came together, Mary. The bow and boughs, your elegant greeting the white weathered wood and those awesome detailed skates weave a delightful little memory of Christmas vacations spent at the skating rink...

These white iceskates bring back lots of fond memories of my childhood, Mary. Beautiful Christmas card including the sentiment, the bling and the weathered bg panel~
