Merry Christmas Background Card

I combined challenges to make this card today using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the Technique Challenge from Just Us Girls.

I think it is quite a busy card myself but I still kind of like it.   I used Ruby and Topiary Inks for Merry Christmas.   The stamp is from Holiday Tags which also includes 4 frames - one I used here. The frames in this stamp set all coordinate with the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.


Recipe:
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 White Daisy Card
Green Glitter Paper - Z1847
Holiday Tags - D1560
Ruby Chevron Ribbon - Z1846
Ruby Ink - Z2170
Topiary Ink - Z2155
Artiste Cricut Cartridge

    Your card has a lot going on, but it doesn't look "busy" for some reason! I think it's very pretty and festive. Great background! Thanks for playing with Just Us Girls!

I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measureme...
