The Stampin B's Design Team challenge #87 this week given by Emily aka ejkeaton is to use purple and turquoise and something shiny or sparkly. I, of course, wanted to make a Christmas card and this really turned out to be a challenge for me. But, I found this designer paper with purplish/lavendar trees and used Stampin'Up! Perfect Plum and Tempting Turquoise layers. I promise the ornament on the left was Perfect Plum until I embossed it with VersaMark Dazzle-Frost and glitter embossing powder...that is when it turned bue. Ugh!
My shiny/sparkly part is the nice sheen on the gold trees, braid for hanging the ornaments, and the beaded, gold ornament. The paper was already beaded.

Oh my goodness Benzi, this is a holiday extravaganza. I love all your different elements and you're brave tackling the color combo. I love the braided sticker, your sparkly ornaments and trees. Quite a unique card for someone who is not a Brainiac like me!! LOL!! GORGEOUS!

Very cool - reminds me of a festive party near a lake with fireworks - not sure why that was the first thing that popped in my mind since I have never been to such a thing - must have seen it on TV. Love those ornaments!
