ColorQ 52 Challenge

Here's my card for this week's ColorQ challenge - cQc52.  This week was a sketch challenge with any past color combination.  I chose cQc18 - Mambo Melon, Baja Breeze, Old Olive and So Saffron.  I really like this combo for a nontraditional Christmas card.  The bright, cheery colors are fun and retro!  The ornament is from the Tags til Christmas stamp set.  The sentiment is from the wheel Jolly Jingles.  I rarely buy wheels but I saw a great tip on Splitcoast.  I took the stamp off the wheel, mounted it on some EZ Mount cling foam and then cut the words apart.  I got 15 Christmas greetings for $8.50!  And it was surprisingly easy to cut apart.  Love this!  I embossed the mat behind the ornament with the Petals a Plenty folder.  The DSP is Candy Cane Christmas from the Holiday mini.  I added some ruffled ribbon and a Glimmer brad.  Thanks for stopping by!

Wow, what a great idea for the wheel.....although I think my customers would probably faint if they saw what I did!!! Maybe after it retires!! Anyway, cute card, I love the corners punched the way you did!!!
