For this fortnight at the Wild Orchid Challenge we are asked to BLING IT UP and I had a request for a flat and simple card so I thought I would combine the requests. You all know how difficult it is for me to make anything without mega dimension but I tried...lol... For this challenge, like all other Wild Orchid Challenges, there is a marvelous prize being offered by the Wild Orchid Crafts shop so come on over and join in with us. We would love to see your wonderful creations!!!
For my card I used Bazzill for the base and all double matting and the DP is from the EP Very Merry Christmas Paper Pad. The image is one of the NEW Whimsy Prints which are beautiful sets of hand colored images which are then digitally reproduced and die cut into various shapes. The prints are printed on 100lb premium coated paper and professionally die cut leaving very smoothe edges. This print is from the Merry Christmas Prints which was designed my Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps. For my BLING I used lots of Self Adhesive Rhinestones from Wild Orchid Crafts. These gorgeous rhinestones are offered in so many beautiful colors!! For the left side treatment I used the rhinestones on each intersection of the beautiful fleur de lys fretwork diecut (SEE BELOW) which was designed by Jolanda Bergmans of Noor! Design. For the double flat bows I used 1/2" Olive Green Satin Ribbon. Finally, I softened all corners with various sizes of the rhinestones.
SWEET STUFF:
I would like to offer you one of these lovely dies as well as a nice selection of Wild Orchid Products to thank you for coming by and for hopefully joining us at the Wild Orchid Challenge this fortnight.

I hope you are ok and the snow doesn't fall too heavily! we had snow here the other day but it was only for an hour and it never settled long, i've never known it snow this early here but hey, there's loads going on wacky with the weather this past year or so. I've been watching Fox News over here for any info on the hurricane, its awful and so frightening, i remember sitting for days watching all the news about katrina, lets hope no one has to face something that bad again, ever! hugs to you darling and again, i bow to your generosity, speak soon, love Vick xxxx

Fabby print on your card, Jacque. I would say perfect for a quick card but I don't think that would necessarily speed my crafting process up! LOL. The die makes a pretty border too. Thanks for offering it as candy along with more WOC goodies. Most generous.

Christmas is my favorite holiday because it's so festive. There's so much inspiration for the holiday for cards and decorations. Your card is a true inspiration. I love the traditional colors of red and green. Your coloring is perfect and I adore the ribbon. Gorgeous card, indeed.
Your card is so happy and festive! Love the sweet image and all the pretty papers and layers you used. A beautiful Christmas greeting.
It sounds as though it's starting to look like Christmas in your area with the threat of snow. Stay safe and stay where it's warm and cozy! :)
Gorgeous card. Your bows are fantastic - wish mine were half as nice. cheers Linda
Storms are terrible things. Flooding seems to be the worst part though. We've had some terrible floods here in England too in recent months. They actually found a couple completely buried in mud in a car under a bridge where there had been a landslide. My mother's cousin was on holiday when her home was completely submerged in water. She can't move back in for a long time, if ever, as it's undecided. Totally ruins lives, but you can't blame nature, can you? Tragic. Really feel sorry for everyone affected by these awful things.
So sorry to be so rude. I forgot to say how lovely and Xmassy your card is and I love that stamp too.
Hi Jacque~
This card is just lovely. I love how you build on top of the layers. You add so much dimension, when just coloring your cards would be beautiful. I love how you added pearls to that die-cut. It is so elegant. I think it would be beautiful on a wedding invitation, or anniversary card, any card! Thank you for sharing your "artistic magic" with us!
