Christmas Is Coming

Evening all, just a quick post as I have just got back from work and want to get settled for the new series of X Factor!
I have decided to start early this year with my Christmas cards, as I always seem to leave them until the last minute and end up rushing them!
I have already made a couple, so I made a couple more today. Today's card is made following the sketch and colour combo over at CAS Colours and Sketches, I made another card using the same colour combo as I really liked the end result, but I will share that later!
The cardstock is American Crafts, stamps are Papertrey Ink Mehndi Medallions, inked with Dew Drop Inks, sentiment is Kanban and the rhinestones are from my stash. I know this stamp set isn't really meant for Christmas but I think it works perfectly, although I will have to invest in a new Snowflake stamp set!
Anyway, enough waffle, here's my card, hope you like it!


I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The decorative medallions work well for a Christmas card! I like how you've rounded the opposing corners, too.
Thanks for sharing your work with us at CAS - Colours and Sketches! :) I hope you'll join us again soon.
