Berry Christmas - Sneak Peak and a Bonus Card

Delightful Decorations for the Diva Coffee Break Challenge

Hi Everyone - Happy Saturday.
It's a gorgeous day here, a little cool, but sunny and bright. 

Today's card is another sneak peek for you.  This new Stampin' Up! Delightful Decorations set is available starting September 1 from the Mini Catalog.  Don't forget to check out my blog on September 1 as you will be able to download the mini catalog and place your order with me.

I loved the challenge from the Diva Coffee Break Challenge 141 this week and thought it was a great excuse to use two of the decorations.  I wanted to create a monochromatic card using the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper (also a sneak peek :-)).  I also wanted to take a break from the usual green/red colors that I've been showing you so far.

Card recipe:

Card stock: 
    Basic Grey, Not Quite Navy
Stamp:
Delightful Decorations
Sentiment:
Christmas Greetings (115448)
Ink:
Silver Embossing Powder on Versamark for the Decorations.  Shimmery Paint from the new mini catalog for the sentiment
Designer Series Paper: 
used as the matt under the second matt of Basic Grey:  Christmas Cocoa Speciality Paper
Ribbon:
Basic Grey Taffeta Ribbon (109064)

I stamped the decorations on Not Quite Navy paper, to give a little bit of depth below the silver and the blue blends so well with the Basic Grey.  The piece of DSP that I used is silver and white and once you see it as a whole page you will be really surprised.  This new DSP is textured and luscious.  I wanted the stripe matt in the grey and white to go between the two grey matts.

I was really pleased with the way the card came out.  It has the classic clean lines that I love, yet feels rich because of the embossing powder, the taffeta ribbon and the monochromatic color scheme.

So many challenges to do this week - I might even feel impelled to do the MojoMonday 100 celebration day 6 challenge if I can get my chores done!  Oh, why can't I wiggle my nose and the toilets get cleaned, floors cleaned, laundry done and folded and cupboards cleaned????

Have a fabulous Saturday and as always, thank you so much to those of you who visit everyday - and f this is your first visit, welcome and I hope you will come and visit me in my little stamping spot again.

Peace and Hugs
Jaydee
