Night before Christmas Take Two

Hey everyone - I'm popping back with another Twas the Night before Christmas card for the current Christmas Kickstart challenge and thought I'd redeem myself at Let's Squash It!! too. 

Supplies: Paper - American Crafts A2 Christmas card;

Graphic 45 Twas the Night before Christmas;

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White

Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug Snowflakes (retired)

Stamps - My Favorite Things Tweet Holidays (retired)

Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle

Other - Copic Markers; Wink of Stella; Stickles

I was combing the stash for a brown paper needed for a different challenge. Ran across my 8x8 Graphic 45 Twas the Night Before Christmas pad. On my previous Kickstart card for this challenge, I used the 6x6 pad which has fewer patterns. The 8x8 pad has a lovely vintage Santa image which I fussy cut and put atop a die cut & embossed snowflake panel. Paper with part of the poem A Visit from St Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore graces the bottom of the panel. Adhered it all to a striped A2 card. Decided to leave off a sentiment so as not to detract from the poem lines. Then I realized I needed something stamped besides something embossed for Let's Squash It!! Added a sprig of stamped holly from Lin (Sending Hugs). Thanks again, Lin! I colored the holly with Copics and fussy cut. Can you see it blending in with the printed holly on the lower right edge of the scroll?? Applied some Wink of Stella & Crystal Stickles to select part of the image - done!

Why the redemption at Let's Squash It!!? On my first entry, I didn't read carefully enough and, while I made a Christmas card, I didn't use a Christmas embossing folder - oops! So I thought I'd enter with the proper elements included this time!! Will also add to Watercooler Wednesday All Occasions (third and final) & Merry Little Christmas Anything Goes Christmas (fifth & final).

LOL - just realized the pink/brown challenge has ended. No need to find my brown paper - oh well...  Thanks for stopping and happy crafting!!
