There was a great sketch that I saw here and I could see immediately how to use it – and this isn’t quite it. But it’s close. My imagination saw a card a bit lighter than this – does this ever happen to you? I made it up twice – one with the white square and one without. 
The Mica flakes are so much fun. Above I used my Two way glue pen to adhere them and below I used Crystal Effects.

Casing the Mini
On the front of the Holiday Mini is a beautiful card using the Christmas Lodge stamp set. At first glance it looked to me that the pinecones and gorgeouse Quilted ribbon appeared to be tied to the card. Now I realize it’s the wrapping for the package – not the card. So here’s my take on the card. 
The card base is textured Sot Suede – a beautiful, beautiful card stock. 
I stitched around the image and added jewels – which kind of look like brads in the photos. Then I realized that the Holiday Mini used Confetti or Natural card stock – so I spritzed the Very Vanilla with Cherry Cobler! That’s one way to fudge around a design! 
I love this sentiment – it’s from Snow Swirled. It goes perfectly with Christmas Lodge.
