Stef has a beautiful color combination for us this week which is really fun to play with for Christmas: Magenta Madness + Just Jade + Shaded Spruce.
I played around with a couple of layouts and then decided to just go with this corner layout which is one of my favorite stand-byes. I fussy cut the holly leaves and punched the ornaments after doing some tone on tone stamping. The DSP for the corner comes from the Flowers for Every Season Suite. The green layers are trimmed out to save paper but I left the Magenta Madness layer whole for a nicer finish.
The holly berries were stamped with Shaded Spruce on Magenta Madness and colored with the dark Magenta Madness Blends.
I thought about adding pearls or dots but settled on some Wink of Stella on the ornaments for a little extra shimmer.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I really hope you will play along with Stef's pretty, yet fun combination this week. I'll see you in the gallery!

Chris, that has become one of my favorite layouts too for a CAS card. Love the layers of holly and ornaments, it's a beautiful Christmas card, albeit with my non-traditional colors!

Can it be Christmas now? This card makes me want to break out the ornaments and sing some carols. So pretty and fun. Very inspirational for this color challenge.

Wow, these nontraditional Christmas colors should now be considered traditional since they look so fantastic on the DT's Christas cards! I love the ornaments and holly on your card. They look so nice together!
