At first, I had a different idea for how I was going to make this card. However, after having it layed out in front of myself, it didn't quite look as good as I had pictured it in my head. So, after doing some more thinking, I came up with this...

My first thought was that I was going to use some pink glitter paper that has an adhesive backing on it. But it looked too flashy for my taste. So, I still used my Christmas embossing folder and I ran it through my BigKick machine. Then I took the adhesive off of the glitter paper, which is what you see here on my card. I decided to give it a dark plum purple border.

I decided to use my Stampin Up Flourish thinlits die with a medium green paper. The main part of the flower is from my Poinsettia Nesting Dies. The lighter purple on my poinsettia was actually cut out on white paper and then I sponged on a little bit of purple to make it look kind of antique-ish. The top of my poinsettia is a flower thinlit die from the Flourish thinlits die set.

The sentiment (Peace Love Joy) is from my Essential Sayings clear stamp set. The banner that this is stamped on is a thinlit die from Hero Arts Kelly's Flags Stamp & Cut Set.

I chose a Christmas theme for my card because I've started early to get my Christmas cards finished. I added a few gems to make it stand out a little better. I'm usually not very creative when it comes to knowing what to say when I'm writing on my blog, so I'll just leave this one short and sweet. I hope you like my card and I appreciate any comments you leave me. Thanks for stopping by Fort Chestnut Designs.
