PIP Challenge #2549

 I hope everyone is ready for Christmas.  I can't believe it is only 17 days away.  I am ready except for a little bit of baking.  I seem to cut back every year.  Especially since sugar no longer agrees with me.

This week Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2549 is being sponsored by one of my favorite stamp companies which is Newtons Nook Designs.  

It is always hard for me to decide which stamp set to use because I love them all.  I went to Inky Paws Challenge looking for inspiration.  Their challenge this month is Holiday, Sparkle and Shine with this picture for added inspiration.

This is my card that I made with this picture in mind.
I started this card with and 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of white cardstock.  I then blended 3 colors of distress oxide (Salvaged patina, Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet).  I then used a snowflake embossing powder on the paper and sprinkled it with holographic embossing powder to give it some sparkle.  I then used the Oval Frames Die set to cut out the pink oval and the scalloped glitter paper oval.  I then colored the Holiday Haul stamped image with my copic markers using the colors in the picture.  I used the matching die to cut the image out.  I used some Crystal Stickles on the packages and the tree.  I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and used one of the smaller rectangles on the A2 Card Layout Die to cut it out.  I cut out a slightly larger pink rectangle to go around the sentiment.

I really enjoyed making this card and always love the Inky Paws Challenges every month.
