Inkredible Color Challenge

Here's for a challenging color combination. This week's colors are: Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Eggplant Envy and Chocolate Chip. I decided to subsitute Chocolate Chip for my favorite new brown, Early Espresso. So if the Inkredible color challenge wasn't challenging enough I decided to make into a Christmas card.

I know you all have done this, stamped images from a friend's stamp collection on Vanilla or White card stock to use at a later date. Well I have done this a million times, but for some reason always forget to use those stamped images. Well I was a little stumped with this challenged and found this great stamped image from my friend Colleen's collection. I must have stamped it quite sometime ago since the stamp set is called Baby Jesus is Born and it was in the 2008 catalog.

So here is my card and the ingredients to make it:

Stamp Set: Baby Jesus is Born, So Many Sayings

Ink: Always Artichoke, Basic Black, Artichoke, More Mustard, Eggplant Envy, Early Espresso and Blush Blossom

Attach strip of Pacfic Point card stock and attach the button. Stamp flowers and punch out with the Itty Bitty punch pack. Punch 1 3/8" circle punch use as a guide to adhere the flowers. Stamp the greeting. Corner round the card stock. Attach cover to the notebook.
