Merry Christmas - Double Trouble #180 "Stitch It Up" partnering with AHSC #604

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #180 "Stitch It Up" wherein I used both a background diamond die and a scalloped frame to meet the requiremen of stitches. 



Twisted Sister's optional twist was to use the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #604, a fun sketch,  but didn't know where I was going with it. The poinsettia band die gave me both the buckle and the band and a couople gold gems were added kitty-corner to the poinsettia with a larger gem middle of flower.     

The poinsettia band die was cut using patterned paper three times for dimension plus widen the band, adhered to the stitched frame, and bordered with the same patterned paper.  Sentiment was die cut using white to blend in with the background.   

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble. Have fun with our challenge requirement and play along with optional twists to be eligible to enter your project in our partner's challenge while earning additional chances to our random draw.
