Yes! This card is also using paper from the paper swap - but this time I don't think the paper was from HOTP. No idea who made it. It's one of the first red and green papers I've seen that didn't immediately scream "Christmas" at me. I liked the little jagged edge at the bottom -- the paper came that way. But I decided to dress it up a bit with this bit of lace with 1/4" white ribbon & 1/8" red ribbon woven through it.
The focal just sort of evolved. I tried stamping my sentiment on the paper itself - but the background was too busy for the stamping to show up well. So, I found a white die cut piece in my stash (cut with a Spellbinder's die) and stamped on that. I threaded a strip of white paper along with 1/8" red ribbon through the sides of the die cut. I used a corner punch on the white mat before inserting the patterned paper into it and arranging my focal on top. This whole matted piece is put on foam tape for added dimension.
