Curtain Call Oriental Christmas...

Hiya!

I feel like singing that song 'School's out for Summer!' - and indeed it is! Freedom... for 6 weeks at least! I'm hoping to have lots more time to make (and post!) cards over the next while - so let's kick off with this week's Curtain Call colour challenge:

I left this one right until the last minute as I've been crazy-busy all week and my sister is over from Australia and wanted to go shopping on Saturday so I was up late finishing this one! I went with this week's Mojo sketch and combined with the colours it ended up looking a bit oriental...

I actually used a Christmas set for the image and swirl on this one - I just love the Season of Joy set as the images are so versatile! I stamped the poinsettia in Real Red twice and cut out and layered. I also stamped it in Kiwi Kiss and cut out some petals to use as the leaves. The sentiment is from Tiny Tags. I stamped the swirl from Season of Joy onto Tempting Turqouise card for a bit of interest on these little squares. The large circle in the background was cut from Pink Flamingo DSP. I added some Real Red Satin ribbon, some brads from the Hodgepodge Hardware kit and a rhinestone brad in the centre of the flower.
