Firecracker Designs BLOG HOP!!
I didn't think this challenge sounded that bad until I got the "simple" card from the fabulously talented Vicki Parson. It was sweet and lovely and simple as is and I didn't want to screw anything up. I put it on my stamp table and just looked at it for a couple days. Besides coloring the poinsettias, I wasn't sure what to do. I honestly thought it looked just lovely as is. I was nervous about adding anything because I didn't want her to hate it! Once I found the guts to start adding I found a few things that I thought looked fabulous with it...I hope she feels the same! So here they are:
Vicki's lovely simple card:
andVicki's card with my "POP" additions:
I added red rhinestones to the corners, colored and popped up the poinsettias with foam dimensionals, popped up the square with the poinsettias with foam dimensionals, added some ribbon and stamped some holly leaves on the green cardstock.
What do you think?So now here is my simple card that I made. I have to tell you, I don't do simple very well at all. It was really hard for me to not cover this with glitter or rhinestones or brads or something. I can't wait to see what Julie did with this!
To see it's "POP" version check out Julie's blog HEREMake sure you do the full Blog Hop and check out all of the "POP" cards because Pamela will be giving away some great blog candy at the end on her blog!!
After the Blog Hop make sure to stop back here for my 2nd World Card Making Day challenge. The prize up grabs for this challenge is a GORGEOUS stamp set from Firecracker Designs!! I will post challenge #2 at 12:00 pm CST! I look forward to seeing you then!

adding the corner bling is too cool! It really sets off the layers of the card. I also like the added random stamping of the holly leave to the main focal paper also. Coloring in the poinsettias looks really cool and they pop themselves with the white border! Most of all I love the ribbon!
I love the red crystals and the ribbon is fantastic. I also love the holly leaves in the green. What a fabulous job you did!
WOW- that looks great.ready to go to another stop...
