Christmas Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #557

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a curved panel, circular focal frame and a wire or thread embellishment.  My card features a sentiment from Close to my Heart's December Stamp of the Month called "Christmas Snow Globes" over a Scalloped Circle Die Cut frame in Jade Card stock.  The background papers are Poppy with Plush Poinsettia special textured vellum (retired SU).  The wire trim was recycle from a wine bottle.

 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, December 31 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love. Please stop by our blog on Wednesday to see what the rest of the talented Design Team has to inspire you.

Christmas Card with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #526

 A few months ago I purchased a pretty poinsettia vellum paper (Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper) that was on clearance from SU and finally got to use it in making this card. I paired it with Comfort and Joy paper from Close to My Heart, a scalloped circle punch and Merry Christmas Flourish sentiment.

My card layout was inspired by this fabulous Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #526:
