Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #38!

Good morning! It is a chilly but sunny morning here! It's a great day to stamp! :D I hope to get quite a bit done too! Anyway, today's Cupcake Challenge was a fun one. I wasn't sure what I wanted my card to look like at first but once I had an idea, it was a piece of cake to put together! For my card I pulled out the fabulous Scandinavian Season set that you can find in the SU! Mini Catalog. I fell in love with this set the minute I saw it! It is so elegant and perfect for Christmas! I also love the non-traditional colors that are being used on Christmas cards this year so I decided to follow that theme again. I absolutely LOVE this color combination! Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss look fantastic with Chocolate Chip (in my opinion)! To finish up this card I added some yummy Chocolate Chip ribbon and silver brads. I also stamped the tree in Kiwi Kiss so that I could cut out the flower and pop it up on dimensionals. I think it is such a neat look and it really adds so much. The only part I struggled with on this card was the sentiment. I wasn't sure how I wanted to do it. I finally decided to pull the sentiment from the All Holidays set, stamp it on Kiwi Kiss cardstock, and position it sideways right beside the image. I am really glad I chose to do this because it has a cute look. So, enough of me bragging on this card, I hope I don't sound conceited about it, I just really like it! :) Before you leave today, make sure you stop by Taylor's blog to see her fantastic card!
