Hello everyone!!! It's Wednesday and time for another Color Throwdown Challenge!! The lovely Danielle is our hostess today and she came up with this fabulous color combo... isn't it pretty!!??!!
My card features the beautiful Christmas Angel stamp from Inkadinkado...it was stamped with Baja Breeze and the snowflakes were covered with glitter. The paper is from Basic Grey's Dasher collection and sewing and distressing were done around the edges. The diecut scallop, ribbon, twine, button, punched snowflakes, and Christmas stick pins finish it off.
