CCMC HOL3 Special Card Challenge

Hello! I have been trying to get here all day to post but my day has been super nutty!  I have been running all over the place and trying to get about a bazillion things done! LOL  Finally though!  I made it!  :)

My card today is for the Create with Connie and Mary Special card challenge.  We were challenged to make one of those cards that you would love to make, but only want to make once! LOL  Christmas was the theme!  Here is my card:

I layered Very Vanilla  onto Always Artichoke and ran them through the new snowflake embossing folder.  I layered that onto the beautiful new silver shimmer glitter paper.  (It is gorgeous paper!!) I added that whole ensemble to a Cherry Cobbler base.  Then I added teeny, tiny, little, itty bitty pearls randomly to the snowflakes.  I used the Triple Treat flower and stamped it three times and punched and layered those on top of each other with pop dots.  I added a rhinestone to its center.  I don't usually use both pearls and rhinestones on the same  project, but I think it works here though.  Finally, I added Dazzling Details to the entire background in a random pattern.  The lighting is a little off because of no sun today, but this little guy just shimmers! :)

This was a fun card to make!  It is all cold and wet and rainy here today and making this card made me feel a little nostalgic for Christmas morning!  It will be here before we know it! :)

I hope that you are having a wonderful day!  I will be back soonest!
