I've used Monarch Mermaid by Hannah Lynn for a tropical-themed Christmas card. You can find this lovely digital image here. Drops of yellow and magenta Stickles sparkle over the jewels on her crown.
I've layered Best Creation's glitter hibiscus paper with Bazzill cardstock that's been die cut and embossed with Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Labels One to create my fancy fold flip card. A Spellbinders Labels One shapes my image using the "Beyond the Edge" technique to allow parts of her hair to flow over the edge. A Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Large Floral Crochet decorates the center border that includes a layer of Satin Sensations 5/8" Island Blue satin ribbon.
A computer-generated ticket sentiment contains the Hawaiian way to say "Merry Christmas." A K&Company Sea Glass Metal Charms palm tree dangles from a magenta mini clip. A few layered Punch Bunch coordinating handmade plum blossoms adorn two corners. A bit of Websters Pages vintage netting lies behind a My Minds Eye pearl pin.
The inside of the card contains the lyrics to Bing Crosby's version of the Hawaiian Christmas Song.
You've just got to hop over to the Crafts and Me Stamps Challenge blog to see how the wonderfully talented Dynamite Digi girls have shown their use of ribbon or trim while using Crafts and Me Stamps digital images on their fabulous projects!
