I made this card as October Guest Designer for the Color Throwdown. This week, Laura gave us these great colors to work with - Dusty Durango, So Saffron and Perfect Plum. Check out the fantastic samples created by the Design Team here: http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2...wdown-115.html
I went to my stash of patterned paper for help with the colors. I found the perfect papers in the Graphic 45 Christmas Past pad. I cut out the Santa with circle Nestabilities. I layered two Spellbinders Fancy Tags for my sentiment. The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Fanciful Tags set. I added a Saffron bow and some plum gems to finish it.
Thanks for looking!
