ELEGANT AND SLIGHTLY "DECO"

When I saw this beautiful pack of papers by "The Paper Studio" it was definitely love at first sight!  From the rich colors and textures to the glittery designs.  The paper has a bit of fabric texture to it that adds such elegance.  I immediately thought of simple, elegant Deco designs and my Martini Christmas stamp!  It was also a fantastic deal at the Hobby Lobby, 50% off, how could I loose?!!  I bought the little Christmas trees - they were buttons and I cut the loops off their backs, and glued them on.  The stamps are done with silver embossing powder.  Oh, and notice, I didn't even add any bows, lol!  The first card was entered into the challenge at One Stitch At A Time for "Celebrate in Style" (a martini is always a way to do that!), and the second at the challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges for their "script" challenge.
