A Card to Celebrate the Upcoming Holiday Season!

It certainly is a time to celebrate!  Today we celebrate with Blog Candy and what a fantastic prize package it is.  The blog candy was sponsored by OC Scrapbookers, my local Scrapbook Store with this wonderful package of goodies from Imaginisce.  This I-Top tool is an excellent tool to have in your scrapbook and cardmaking toolbox!  I have used it here in the card I posted today to celebrate the season of giving that is coming very soon.  In my project today, I have used the I-Top Bradmaker to embellish the card by making brad centers for my festive flowers.  The pattern paper that I used is from Basic Grey's Jovial Collection. I used Winter Garden as my main panel and Naughty on two of the flowers' brads, both of the outside flowers.  I found an intriguing tutorial on my internet travels that illustrated this wonderful and one of a kind flower that used the I-top bradmaker tool for the centers.  The flower petals are made using Bazzills Gold Foil paper and Spellbinders Grand Borderability Classic Lace.  Then the finishing center embellishments are made using the I-top bradmaker, matching paper and brad daddies also being offered in our prize package Candy.  All of these products can be found on sale today and all week at OC Scrapbookers 'n More.  If there is something that you like and you want to know if they have it, just email them at ocscrapbookers@yahoo.ca 
The sentiment I used for this card, "Seasons Greetings" is one that I had in my stash and I especially like how the simplicity of it added elegance to the otherwise busy card layout.  That's it for this card but I plan to post more projects this coming week that will show off what you can do with the I-top tool .  Stay tuned for more!
