*****
Hey there Peeps! Well it's my turn today to share the projects I created with the gorgeous flowers from Petaloo and the fun and festive patterned papers from Authentique.
I'm using Burlap Poinsettias to accent the Classic Christmas for this very vintagy card.
The berries add a nice bit of sparkle and contrast nicely with the burlap and velvet leaves.
Tinsel trim and snowflakes are essential holiday embellishments and I'm using these items here to create a frame for the gorgeous Santa image. I added a bit of crackle medium to the image to make it look even more vintagy.
Glittery finished chipboard creates a lovely base for the sentiment block and is topped off with a tiny metal candy cane charm, twine, and clip.
These pretty patterned papers are the perfect paring for the gorgeous Petaloo Flowers.

For my next card I went in a totally retro direction and this card is sooo much fun : )
It's so bright and cheerful it brings a smile to my face. This Santa is JOllytastic!!!
I totally loaded this card with paper patterns but it's not too crazy busy because I used solid red cardstock as borders.
Squeeeeee so many poinsettias and velvet and sparkles. This s a bold arrangement to stand out on the papers.
Poofy bow, twine and bell along with a large glittery snowflake are added over stacked paper doilies and burlap ribbon trim. I gave Santa a little star wand to help him on his magical gift giving night.
More stars tucked into the poinsettias and holly leaves are the perfect finishing touches.
