The Challenge #52

Hi there!  It's Monday, and that means it's time for a new challenge at The Challenge!  This week we have a Christmas inspiration challenge with a beautiful, versatile graphic to inspire you.








My card was extremely simple to make.  I love this patterned paper from Basic Grey's Jovial 6X6 paper pad.  With the red flowers, greenery, pretty ornaments, and creamy white snowflakes, I felt that it really captured the essence of the inspiration photo.  I decided to use a curved die from PTI to cut the paper (inspired by the curve of the banister in the photo), and added the sentiment, also from PTI, and all I needed to finish the card was some cream colored twine and a few gold jingle bells.  As I said, very simple and quick!

I hope that you'll join us at The Challenge this week!  Hop on over to the blog and see what the rest of the design team has created, I'm sure you'll be inspired :)
