Various challenges in a Christmas card

Ok, let's start the Christmas cards.
Doing challenges is the way I make my cards every year.
I don't like makinging many of the same cards.

I have been noticing this color challange thing going on
and thought it would be fun to follow it for this month.
So the challenge for today is to create a background.
Here is the background I created.
I used this pine leave stencil first on the
background panel and stamped the sentiment.
Next I took the swiss dot embossing folder
and rand the background panel through
the big shot and this is the result.

For the colors of my card I choose the 
with the fun color that was me for Halloween,
but I love making non traditional Christmas cards.

The eyecatcher is the bauble on the card
(which is a SU! die) with a bling gemstone
in the heart of it.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!
