OCCC You are one of a Kind

Good afternoon fellow card makers. This was the hardest card for me to make, first I could not get the mates centered, then I changed the DSP to a different pattern, so that did not look good with the color of card base that I had, so I just started all over again, I set it a side until today to have a new prospective on the way that I wanted it to look. I started with a dark brown card base and a burgundy DSP That is by My Mind's Eye "Home" Floral/Blue Paper, the DSP on the scalloped square nestie is K&Company Christmas Cheer Designer Mat Pad, a lot of this does not look like your usual Christmas paper, and I love to use different DSP together to give it that unique look. The center is on whisper white card stock and embossed using my cuttlebug folder from the Fancy Corners. I colored the the negative side with my markers then I embossed it, these corners fit perfectly in the third size scallop squares of my Classic scallop square sm.
I used the sentiment from the One of a Kind stamp set by SU, I used my markers to color the sentiment and matted it on my labels two nesties. I used chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon and I punches out two swirls with my swirl punch. This has been an awesome challenge for me, I just love the new ways that these challenges help get my creative juices flowing and thinking outside the box. Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for looking!
