Stampin' Up Only Challenge

One of the challenges I've just begun to participate in is the Stampin' Up Only Challenge.  This weeks challenge was to make a card with a favorite Greeting or Sentiment stamp.  At Christmas, I like cards that name Christmas, not Happy Holiday, or Seasons Greetings.  It is Christ's birth so it is called Christmas.  During the Christmas season I use Christmas or Merry Christmas.

Emboss Resist Christmas
Here is my card using the Joyful Christmas Stamp set.
Paper:white 3 3/4"x 5"
 black4" x 5 1/4"
 wasabi 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Ink:Real Red, Wasabi, versamark
Accessories:rhinestones, pearls, apothecary framelits, clear embossing powder, dauber

I stamped in versamark then embossed with clear embossing powder. I used a sponge to apply the red ink in a circular motion.  I did the leaves the same way using wasabi ink.  I stamped the greeting and cut it out using the apothecary framelits then sponged the edge with wasabi ink.
I added dimensionals to the greeting and leaves.  I added rhinestones and pearls to the flower centers.
The white was mounted on black, then onto wasabi.

I liked this so much I made another one using calypso coral with the red on the flowers.
Thanks for stopping by for this challenge.
Blessings,
