Purple Holidays

Good morning!  There is a fun new week-long linky party on the BYSHC blog and I'm playing along.  All you need to do is make a holiday or wintry card and enter it into the linky party.  I love making Christmas cards, so I cranked out several cards to share with you throughout this week.

For today's card, I pulled out the gorgeous Dotted Poinsettia stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code HollyFan10 to save).  I wanted a different holiday color for this card, so I went with a pale purple cardstock and I brushed a darker grape purple ink over the stencil.  The Crystal Metallic Quicksilver Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs has a slight purple undertone, so it is perfect with this purple card.  I die cut the sentiment (Concord & 9th) from grape cardstock and the shadow from metallic silver cardstock.  Now's the time to use those special papers and embellishments, right??
