I'm pretty much done with my cards for this year, but I'm in the holiday spirit and there's always next year to get ready for, so here's another holiday card for today's color challenge. I haven't used this set all that much which is a shame because it makes really cute cards! Today's Saffron Moss Melons made a striking color combo for this holiday greeting. I stamped the image with Mellow Moss Craft ink and embossed with clear powder. I sprayed the cardstock with fixative and then colored with reinkers and blender pens. I used the Mambo Melon Marker (say that five times fast) to create polka dots on the stocking. I used either a white gel pen to highlight or a Rose Red Markers to shadow the dots. I layered and added three layer punched and glittered stars and a couple of strips of cardstock with dry embossed dots.
Fun! Fun! Fun! What do you think? Make my day, leave a comment!!

Well, next year is off to a great start - I keep thinking I am done too, but after mailing over 70 cards, I keep getting from people I didn't mail to - figures. This is a beauty!
