Winter Wonderland DT - A Monochromatic Christmas Card

Happy Friday morning to you all and as you all know this welcomes the next Winter Wonderland Challenge which this week I am hosting.

Last week there were some amazing entries to Danielle's challenge and we really enjoyed seeing the different interpretations of a Single Layer card

Now this week the teamies and I all chose a colour and created our pieces for the challenge of

A Monochromatic Card

This is a card using one colour and either cream or white.  I chose the green tones, but check out the Challenge site and see the wonderful array of colours the team used.

We are sponsored this week by our ex teamie Terri

who is offering the random winner the choice of three of her amazing digis

So here is my DT card for this week

This is my first attempt at a Step card, an interesting configuration but a change which I enjoyed.  I have used a cream base card.  I have also used a paper I get regularly from the Hobby House is  by Craft Creations Ltd it uses the sentiments to perfection and I normally pair this with its matching paper but not on this occasion and the other is by Dovecraft called Jolly Happy Christmas I have used the greens from this stack but there are some lovely reds too.  The ribbon is also from the Hobby House as are the diamante's and the pearls.  I have used butter cream stazone on the acetate circle and framed this with a scallop nestie centred with a circle nestie.  I added the diamante's in green on each scallop and added pearls to the tips of the pearls on the acetate.  The floral arrangement created differently today taking me back numerous years to when I did my flower arranging course.  The base stem is a triple holly leaf spray from Papermania I have then added and twisted together all the other flowers from several places but now in my general flower stash.  I added a little bow at the bottom but wanted to show that it was a spray creation.

Here is a close up of the spray which I added some extra stickles too

Just look at those delish holly berries in green, just perfect for this colour scheme.  Here is a close up of the Whiff of Joy image an oldie but goodie, you can also see the swirls on the acetate too.

I used copics to colour the image

and added some more of the liquid applique for her fluffy bits.

Well now all I need to do is show you what I managed to combo this creation too, so here goes
