Remember the Just Because card I shared last week? This is the second card I mentioned that used that stamped patterned paper I made. (Directions for creating the paper on in the other post here.) I decided to use the paper again for a Christmas card. The large red image reminds me of a poinsettia for some reason. I stitched my paper to an enchanted evening base using red thread. I adhered it to my card and wrapped an enchanted evening stitched ribbon around my card. I stamped one of the tags from 2009 Holiday Tag Collection on white cardstock, added an enchanted evening mat and adhered it above the ribbon. I added a little red stickles to the berries on the tag to finish off my card.
Have a great day!
Niki

Hi Niki!
I just love your creative style! This card is lovely, and the color combination is amazing--something I wouldn't have thought of!

I love this pattern. I have the original Guide Lines but I might need to add the Giga to my wish list. You are such an enabler, seeing what you do with stamp sets is going to make me go broke! Have a great day.

Nicki, this card is outstanding. I can't believe you put together so many colors without it becoming too much. It is perfect! Thanks for instructions, I now know how many stamp sets I am missing! It's OK, I'll get there.
