Before I begin, I want to say a huge welcome to Carmen (check out her blog here, she is such a dear) and Erin for following my blog. I couldn't find Erin's blog, but I'll be looking for it.
It's another easy one this week, since we have one more Anything Goes over at Christmas Card Challenges.

I recently bought a Distress Tool and I thought I would try it out on this card. As is the norm for me ~ lately ~ when I went to use it, I couldn't find it. So, I had to distress the papers the old fashioned way with sandpaper. And of course, right after I finished sanding away, I saw the distress tool on my work table. in plain sight ~ how does that happen?
The sentiments are from Holly Juniper - front and Holiday Greetings-inside (both from Doodle Pantry). The poinsettia flower is a die cut by Cuttlebug. I added a few yellow stamen pearls to the center rather than the paper one that comes with the die cut. The decorative mat for the front sentiment is a die cut by Whimsy Stamps. The stick pin is handmade and I added a bit of red and green burlap strings under the flower.
