It's beginning to sound alot like Christmas!

Ok, that was frustrating.  Typepad just threw my whole post that took me over an hour to post into the lovely world of the www!  Ugh.  Starting over....

Ok, this will now be short and sweet as I don't have time to do this over!

I am totally into the Christmas spirit- as you will be able to tell with the next few days or weeks of posts!  Between gifts and cards, I sure have glitter, glue and scraps flying all over the place!

Here is a card I made that took me way too long to make-3 hours.  I don't know why, I guess I just wasn't ever happy and had to keep tweaking!

  I am not good at saying I first did this, then I did that, then I did this.  So I am gonna do step by step from now on. lol

First, stamp the scallop stamp on blue with chocolate ink and add some dots along the edges of the scallops.

Punch out the image with the scalloped punch and sponge the edges with blue ink

Now stamp the snowflake from the inside of that image on white in blue ink.  Cut it out with the Coluzzle and sponge the edges in cocoa ink.  Add the rhinestone brad.

Using a pop dot, adhere it to the blue scalloped layer. 

Take a piece of chocolate paper and cut it out with Coluzzle.  Sponge edges with chocolate ink.  Adhere the scalloped layer to it using pop dots.  Add dots using gel pen.  Add taffeta ribbon to make ornament. (Got this idea off of SCS)

Cut out DSP layer using Coluzzle (one step bigger) and adhere layers to it.

Rip edges of chocolate paper and vellum paper and glue together (I don't have vellum tape as I haven't heard the best about it, so I used glue where the ornament would sit and glued them that way). 

Add ornament piece to vellum and chocolate layer. 

Cut out some matching DSP and mat on chocolate.  Add brads.

Sponge card base with blue ink.  Add layers of DSP, chocolate cardstock and ribbon.  Glue to card base and add other layers.  Add the brads and some stickles to the snowflake in the center of the ornament.  Done!

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back tomorrow, mmmkay! :)

I really hate it when I lose a post like that. Or a really long email... that has been happening a lot as of late. Anyways, this is one really terrific card! I love the composition and the colors. Really love that close-up shot that you posted at the bottom.
