Stage Card

My latest issue of Quick Cards Magazine featured stage cards.  They are kind of like a center step card but a little different with a valley fold in the middle.   I used the free papers from the magazine to make this card:
I always like to emboss the magazine papers because they are rather thin and I like the added texture.  I used Spellbinders scalloped circle dies to make the stage opening and backgrounds for the sentiment and a border punch for the red strip across the bottom. The sentiment and holly leaves are Sparkle N Sprinkle stamps.  I added super fine glitter to the berries and leaves, teeny tiny bling in the border and on the sentiment, a poinsettia brad from CTMH, and a triple loop bow. 

I am entering this in the following challenges:
Beccy's Place a Month of Challenges - Day 11 - Border Punch
Sparkle N Sprinkle November Challenge - Anything goes with glitter, flocking, or embossing powder 
Aud Sentiments Challenge #120 - Use a sentiment for any December holiday
