a retro, pink Christmas adventure

Friday, Leena Girsa pinned this fabulous retro-design Christmas card which went straight to the top of my to-CASE list.  Yesterday while driving across Michigan and back, I thought about what colors to use.  I didn't want to copy it exactly, but I didn't want to change it much.  Finally I decided that pink would perfectly maintain the retro feel, AND would work for the Jingle Belles' Pink Christmas prompt in support of breast cancer research.  I was a little busy yesterday, so I left it for another day.  Today I was out during the morning, but when I got home early this afternoon, I noticed that the newest Watercooler Challenge had been posted - to CASE a Pinterest project!  Well, I cannot fight the universe - this card HAD to be created and posted today:
stamp sets - Kinda Eclectic, Sassy Salutations; ink - Melon Mambo, Smoky Slate; card stock - Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Silver Glimmer; Big Shot with Lucky Stars embossing folder and Stars framelits; 1/8"  ribbon - Silver; Frosted Sequins; Stampin' Dimensionals

Hi Kathe, love your take on this card! Interesting how the universe conspired to make you post it. ;) What makes the card even more special is that the Jingle Belles are donating $4 for each card that includes pink. Something wonderful during Breast Cancer Awareness month. My friend's mother just lost her battle last Friday.
