I'm sharing another of the cards that I made recently at a Stampin' Up class using the Classic Christmas dies.  I added some gold paper, gold self adhesive strips and dots and a sentiment stamped in gold ink to keep it all coordinated.  My sentiment is from the Framed and Festive stamp set.

I took my inspiration from the greenery in the photo and also the holiday spectacular theme - my card has lots of different elements plus of course it's Christmas themed.

I took the colours and the leaves from the photo and used a stencil from Stampin' Up to make the main panel of my card.  I used a range of Stampin' Up and Distress Inks with a very small blending brush stencilling each leaf and blending the inks to different colours.

I then cut the panel into three and finished the card with a Stampin' Up sentiment.

I layred with dark brown paper and used a kraft card base all from Craft Creations.

I looked at the photo and decided to use the butterflies and flowers on my card - I thought straight away of a stamp set from Clearly Besotted Stamps called 'Flutterby Corners'.

I stamped one of the corners plus an extra butterfly and coloured it with Promarkers.  Then I added a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up.
