This is my card for CC559. Barbara is our hostess and she chose, hello honey, rose red and garden green. Dessert is Christmas. I substituted purely pomegranate for the rose red and used smoky slate, browns and black for neutrals this week.
I made a little indoor fireplace scene for my card. The fireplace and accessories are a new die set from MFT. Saw several cards on Pinterest and used them for inspiration.
I cut the fireplace in smoky slate and used the MFT brick wall stencil and sponged in smoky slate.
The mantle greenery is a die from Impression Obsession and the pomegranate leaves are in place of a bow. I didn't have a bow die small enough.
My background "wallpaper" is some retired Stampin'-Up Christmas paper. I used a Spellbinders die for the look of a white baseboard. The "wood floor" is some dp from my stash.
That's my card for this week. Hope you can play along with us. The colors and dessert give you a chance to get some Christmas cards done.

Cute Christmas card Mary! Love the whole stockings on the fireplace scene, it reminds me of my childhood. We had a brick fireplace and my mom must have had some sort of cement nails in it because we always had out stockings hanging up just like your card!
