I decided to make a simple Christmas Card sung the challenge colours and the Merriest Moments Stamp Set. I really like the colour combination for a Christmas card.

1. Start with a Sweet Sorbet card base measuring 21cm x 14.9cm scored and folded in half
2. Cut another piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock to measure 9.5cm x 14.8cm
3. Cut a piece of Basic White card stock to measure 9cm x 14.3cm and another measuring 1.5cm x 9.5cm for the sentiment layer
4. On the bottom right hand side of the BASic White layer stamp the leaves in Parakeet Party ink
5. On a spare piece of Basic White card stock stamp the large and small Poinsettia in Sweet Sorbet ink and three of the holly leaves in Parakeet Party. Use the coordinating dies to cut out all images
6. Adhere the die cut leaves to top of the stamped leaves using glue
7. Adhere the two Pionsettia die cut pieces on top of the holly using Dimensionals
8. Adhere our Sweet Sorbet Matt Decorative Dots to the centre of the Poinsettia and then three around the leaves
9. Glue the Basic White layer to the Sweet Sorbet matt layer and then to the card front with glue
10. Stamp the sentiment in Versamark ink on the sentiment strip of Sweet Sorbet card stock. Sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and set with the heat tool. Adhere to the card front using glue
11. Tie a 25cm length of the Parakeet Party Bakers Twine in a a triple bow and glue to the bottom of the Poinsettia
12. Flick some Wink of Stela onto the card front for some extras sparkle

I do hope you are making Christmas cards this year for friends and family.
