Wonderful color combo! Finally had a chance to finish mine. I played around with a bunch of different combos of the colors but I really love the way white gel pen looks on kraft (crumb cake) so I went w/ mostly kraft c/s.
I went from the card base up on this instead of my usual image first, then the rest. So I have a 5.5 x 4.25 kraft card, then a narrow red layer and another kraft. On this layer, I stamped the snowflake bg w/ the red chalk ink then added all the white accents w/ the white gel pen.
For the mistletoe tag, I stamped only half of it w/ the choc ink, turned it, and stamped the same end again to create a mistletoe rect instead of a tag. I used the tag die and traced around the scallop end, turned it and traced it again on the opposite end then cut it out.
The sentiment was also done w/ the red ink and I used the Spellbinders ovals to die cut it and the red oval. The sentiment was accented w/ the white gel pen and the edge was done w/ the white galaxy marker. I used both galaxy markers for the dotted edge around the mistletoe rect.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them.

Julie, your cards are always so breathtaking! I love the white and red stamping and the depth from your layers. Gorgeous, my friend!
