It's Flourishes October Release Challenge and I can't wait to see what new Christmas themed stamp sets they will have for us. So, the challenge was to create a Christmas design without using traditional Christmas colors thus, the Christmas with a Twist. Okay, no red, no green; not a problem. Since blue is my favorite, of course it was the first color that came to my mind.
Rather than add a sentiment to the front of the card, I put it on the inside. I kept the design clean and simple and let the beautiful image be the focal point. Flourishes Christmas Candles Stamp Set is another favorite. It's the one I'm using for all the cards I'll be making and sending to family and friends this year.
Stamp Set: Flourishes Christmas Candles; Ink: Stampin' Up! Night of Navy; Card Stock: Flourishes Classic White, Stampin' Up! Night of Navy, Bo Bunny Powder Mountain Collection; Accessories & Tools: Spellbinders Tear Drop Circles Die, 1/4" White Grosgrain Ribbon, Clear Rhinestones

Until next time...happy creating!
