Season of Joy

Christmas is June????? Can only mean one thing, the Christmas card challenge to make 10 cards each month so you're all ready for the stress of the holidays. This is my card for May. I made all 10 of them last night while over at a friend's house stamping with a group of lady friends. We used to get together once a week but life has interfered with that so now it's every so often.

Anyway, about the card, I used the Season of Joy set by Stampin' Up. I hardly used that set so I figured I'd pull it out and dust it off. The eggplant snowflake popped up in the middle of the word "joy" has Stickles on it, giving it a blurred appearance. The non-traditional Christmas colors that I used were Elegant eggplant, River rock, Old olive, Chocolate chip and Very vanilla. The DSP is by SU called Brocade Background. I used my Nestibilities for the main image as well. Just can't seem to stop myself from using that Cuttlebug!!!
