TRIPLE TREAT FLOWER CHRISTMAS - SC016/11 & PP#72

I have a card to show you today, that I made for this week's Sunny Challenges Christmas-themed sketch challenge :



combined with Paper Players Challenge #72 , to use this gorgeous colour combination:





This is the first time I've used these colours together to make a Christmas card, and I absolutely LOVE the combination; I'll be using it again, for sure.

I have shown some more love to my Triple Treat Flower stamp, that punches out so beautifully using Stampin' Up!'s 5-Petal Flower punch.  The flower centres are punched out and adhered to Build-a-Brads (without the epoxy tops).




Stamps: Starburst jumbo Stampin' Around wheel, Triple Treat Flower, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Riding Hood Red (textured and smooth), Always Artichoke, River Rock (textured and smooth)
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Always Artichoke, Riding Hood Red and River Rock stampin' pads
Other: 5-Petal Flower punch, Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder, 1/2" circle punch, Build-a-Brads (retired), Always Artichoke seam binding, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, sponge dauber, mini glue dots
