Good morning to you. I hope you had a good weekend! We Canadians had a long weekend as Friday was Remembrance day. I was quite busy this weekend but took Sunday to fulfill my need to stamp!
My creation uses an A la Carte stamp called “Triple Treat Flower” and the Color Challenge from Create with Connie & Mary.
I had no problem putting Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black together, but adding More Mustard???????
Here’s what I came up with……..
……aha, the second flower layer for More Mustard. I wanted to add a little holiday glitter so heat embossed the 3 flowers with Iridescent Ice Embossing powder.
The black layer was cut out with the Fancy Flower Punch and the other 2 layers were done with the 5-Petal Flower punch. I added a glimmer brad to the top Cherry Cobbler flower and then each layer was popped up with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Hi Cynthia. I just stopped by from Debbie, the Crafty Person’s newsletter. Hi from another BC demonstrator (Kamloops). I like how you used the colours from Create with Connie and Mary. I did a trip around your blog and it is very nicely laid out with lots of informative ideas. Have a great day
Beautiful card, Cynthia! Great idea to sneak that mustard color in – lol! Love the glimmer brad! Thanks for playing the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
I like the stamped image. I just received that stamp this week and will be experimenting with it! Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie & Mary!
What a wonderful Christmas card filled with so many textures! Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
I know…the More Mustard threw me at first, too! Love that stamp and how you used it on the plaid background…quite a contrast! Thanks for playing along with the color challenge on Create with Connie and Mary!
You did a great job incorporating the mustard into the flower! Love the layers and your take on a Christmas card! So glad you could join us at CCMC!
Even though there are a lot of patterns going on here, it WORKS! Everything seems to just blend with the other elements. Pretty card. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge this week!
