Playing With the House of Cards December Challenge

Hello, my friends!

Today is actually an extra little "for fun" post!

I was recently visiting a friend's blog, and clicked on a button in her sidebar.

It took me over to House of Cards.

How have I not been there before?

It's a monthly challenge blog, where a number of familiar faces hang out!

When I popped in they were having a blog hop in combination with their challenge.

 I just had to get in on the Challenge.

Look at this fabulous inspiration photo:

Isn't that a pretty photo?

I was really intrigued by the all red wreath.

Then I was reminded that I recently won a fabulous wreath image from MHK Designs.

Here is the card I made:

I colored my wreath all in red, and fussy cut it out.

Using papers that I also won from MHK Designs, 

I die-cut a doily, and placed it behind the wreath.

Then I used this wonderful red and green houndstooth paper for the background. 

Finally, I mounted it on a white card base, and added some bling.

The wreath was mounted on foam tape.

I also inked the edges of the doily with white ink.

Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;

MHK Designs: Wonderful Wreath Digital Stamp Set,

Deck the Halls Digital Paper Pack;

Bling: Kaisercraft Rhinestones - Green;

Die: Cheery Lynn - English Tea Party Doily.
