It's the weekend, and I am finally getting my Mojo on! Inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch, I relied upon my Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions folder to create my background for this card which features my favorite trio of non-traditional holiday colors: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, and Taken with Teal! Punches-a-plenty also come into play in creating this bling-a-licious card!
The Stampin' Schach Tips:
- Reduce your workload by using punches whenever possible! I used the 1" Circle Punch to punch out the "Snowflake" center from one of the Delightful Decorations ornaments. The 1-1/4" Square Punch and Photo Corners Punch were used to create the dramatic border. And, the Jumbo Snowflake Punch created the large Rich Razzleberry snowflake.
- Texture quickly and easily adds drama to your card! Zip that card stock through the Big Shot with a Textured Impressions Folder.
- Bling it! Rhinestone Circle Brads can always be counted on to add a touch of glamour!
- Go for the unconventional! I love the look of these colors together! I think that they make for a striking card. Don't be afraid to embrace what you like.

STUNNING! Your colors are now becoming my favorite Christmas colors. Your card is, once again, beautiful. I think I look forward to the weekends knowing that you'll be making cards during that time! :)
love it to say the least ~~ my question/challenge: what are you doing with the rest of the punched out/stamped ornament after you 'steal' the center? TFS!! R ;)
Gorgeous Ann...love those colors together and how you layered the snowflake....and your tips are priceless! TFS!!!! {SMILES}
Gosh Ann I wish you were here to teach classes! each day surpasses the next. Your colors are breathtaking! xox
Wow Ann, fabulous job on this sketch (I was a tad intimidated by it)! Love your colors and that embossing...it's gorgeous!
Ann, I love the colors and especially love the way you incorporated the corner punch. What a great idea!!
Love these unconventional Christmas colors! And I learned a new vocabulary word - blingalicious! I used to tell my kids when they learned a new word to try to use it that same day in "regular" conversation - I'll let you know how I do =-)
Great card!
Really striking card with this color combo! Your style is so precise and finished...I heart your art!!!!
Hi, Scrappywonder! I had never thought about those poor neglected center-less ornaments until now! But your question has given me an idea! I still have the punched out ornaments from this and a few others cards. Stay tuned for the results in a few days!
WOW!!! I love this card and I love these colors!!!
wow - this is a stunning card.
Sounds like a fantastic offer. Beautiful card. Kind of a Native American arts feel. Hugs, Mary
This is gorgeous....that sketch intimidated me, but I love that you substituted the squares for the circles....and I just love everything else about it, too!

I love the blend of colors and patterns. They create a perfect flow. I think this is the greatest use of the photo corner punch I have ever seen. You are innovative and inspiring! Can't wait to see what's next.
I've always thought of myself as a traditional gal. you've really opened my eyes to other color combos! More, more more!
Love this colour combination... I wrote down the colours and came back a few hours later to create my own card using the same colour combo... if you're interested, you can see it at http://nancyscreativemess.blogspot.com/2009/09/cool-colour-combo.html
I will admit, I think I like your "formula" for the combination better than mine... I will definitely play with these colours again!
I agree with Gina and the rest... awesome, stunning... amazing work my dear. I look forward to your cards too. Hugs,
This is fantastic! Just stunning.
