PPA148 Color Challenge

It's just not Christmas without a little mistletoe and my card for the new Color Challenge (PPA148) at Pals Paper Arts is loaded with it!  Make your own using the Little Leaves Sizzlits die and a pair of Paper Snips by simply rounding the ends of the leaves!  If you're a regular follower of my blog, you'll remember the Christmas tag featuring mistletoe that I created last year using this same technique. 

I used glue to adhere the sprigs of mistletoe onto the Crumb Cake card base to create an overall pattern. A strip of striped patterned paper, a seasonal sentiment, and a linen-threaded button complete this simple yet elegant card!  Festive, fun and easy!

Join me and the rest of the PPA Design Team and play along with us at PPA!  Use Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Crumb Cake (or similar colors) to create your card for the challenge!  For more inspiration and details on how to play, visit the PPA blog! 

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about my card!  I love sharing my work with you and always hope you find it inspiring in some way!  I love hearing from you and I can't wait to see what you create!

Love that mistletoe! You have that artistic eye to know that all you had to do was round the ends of the leaves! This is adorable!

Love this card, Margaret. At first I thought the berries were pearls. Beautifully done!

Oh Margaret! You've done it again! Simply beautiful!
I saw and loved your tag from last year but couldn't quite remember how you had done it. Thank you for this wonderful new card, and the link to the tag!
