Wishing You Joy

 

Wishing You Joy + Traditions of Christmas DSP + Gathering Together DSP

I created this card as 1 of 4 make n' takes for my catalog launch party.  I'm just crazy in love with the Traditions of Christmas DSP!  It is just stunning and ridiculously easy to create gorgeous cards with.

Wishing You Joy

The gold foil in both the DSP and as the matting creates a subtle elegance that brings back memories of my Grandma Marie's Christmas decorations (I inherited her red and gold glass balls!!)

This weeks Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Crushed Curry! I chose to use the Gallery Blooms Bundle to create these rich gold toned flowers.
