52 CCT April Stash Challenge

My card for today, uses a printed holiday paper set called "Snowflake Ridge Collection".  

I bought it from Scrapbook.com but you can also get it at Amazon, Ebay, Michaels and more.  The collection has to be my favorite paper in many years and I have used it alot.  Since it is double sided, I am tempted to buy another pack and use the other side as well.  

The paper I chose from that collection had peppermint candies, snowflakes, flowers, poinsettias and several colors. I went with poinsettias theme and I pulled the colors teal and white to work with.  I had a sparkling piece of cardstock left over that was 2 tone teal so I used it for my mat, words and leaves.  I love how the die cut leaves look!  If you turn it in the light, the leaf veins look like another color so I used my flash so you could see what I was talking about.  You can also see the two colors on the words.  I cut Joyous out of the lighter area and Noel out of the darker color of the two tone cardstock.

   Since the cardstock is so busy, I chose a plain color for the rest.  I used iridescent white for the poinsettias, frame, mat, and banner. 

So now it is your turn to play!
