When I saw the inspiration picture for the Stampin' Celebration challenge #112, I thought I could make a rosette and pair it with the Fab Friday sketch #72, which had a big circle on it. As I was putting the card together, the center seemed a little bare so I decided to add lace trim around it - tying the card to the Naughty or Nice challenge #19 as well.
I'm really loving the Cozy Christmas stamp set (page 9 of Stampin' Up!'s Holidays Catalogue) and keep reaching for it for my projects. The vintage-looking sentiment was colored with Stampin' Write Markers, stamped and punched with the 2-1/2" Circle punch, then I stamped and handcut the bells from the set at the bottom.
A little piece of Real Red Foil Paper was added behind the image as well. Since the rosette is pretty thick, I used my Envelope Punch Board to make a matching envelope and used a slightly bigger format to have room to accomodate the bulk.
