3 purple Christmas cards and Use your stuff.

Jennifer Grace has inspired me again.
She has gathered a cluster on cards
http://jennifergracecreates.com/christmas-cards-pile-it-up/

And one of her suggestions is to pile up a range of embellishments in the centre of a card.
I set myself an extra challenge (for Use your stuff) ,  as I only have purple cards, but wanted to make Christmas cards.
I found some suitable background paper which was a sea theme, but looked "a bit Christmassy".
I then added silver sparkly washi tape to all 3 cards.
Then a silver flower (the 2 larger ones also had a music flower).
A ribbon bow to the gift one, ties under the flower to the bauble one and a white felt heart on the smowman one.
I'm happy with them.Us scrappers become experts at "something from hardly anything" don't we?

They are really christmas-y but in the same time, very innovative ! Can't believe that it was a sea paper... Your set of card is very beautiful !

You did a great job with our challenge and using purple as a non-traditional Christmas color is fabulous! Thanks for joining us at Use Your Stuff this week and hope to see you again.
