On the 4th day of Christmas......

Sandie's challenge today was to use 4 squares of anything on a card.....design paper, brads, stamps....large or small.

I've used a few more than 4 squares though.....the layers just kept growing LOL! My beautiful "design paper" is actually cut from a box......my DD gave me some lovely French perfume when she came home from her recent trip to Europe, the box that it came in was just too pretty to throw away so I've re-cycled it onto this card. It was hard to get a good photo of it, but it's a mauvy grey colour with gold foiling on it. I've cut the squares with my Nestabilities so they have a nice embossed edge to them. The cardstock I backed it with is a really nice dark purple metallic cardstock.....which really doesn't show through in the photo either, it's so much nicer IRL! The design paper layer under that is a light green that's layered on another piece of the purple metallic cardstock then onto a red square card.

The red flower is by Inque boutique........use your imagination and pretend it's a poinsettia! Added some red Kaiser rhinestones to the flower centre, some silk leaves and a red organza bow. The greeting is also a piece of ribbon.
