I remember this old Stampin' Up set - it's really pretty and versatile, as Jessica showed with her two ATCs with reversed colour schemes.
Blue and brown are completely out of my comfort zone, and it's Christmas card making time, so I went with a more festive colour combination. I blended my inks through a small 4 layered mandala stencil from Waffle Flower and then cut it with the coordinating dies.
My flourish background is a tone-on-tone stenciled pattern using my 2 red inks with gold watercolour splattered over top.
My sentiment is gold embossing on Inca gold cardstock, and as a finishing touch, I added gold pearls.

Festive is a great description for this beauty. Love the addition of the pink and teal to the more traditional Christmas colors. You always combine such interesting and beautiful colors together. Fabulous card.

You have a wonderful eye for color .... you've achieved truly lovely color combinations with your stenciling.
