Deedee's Digis Christmas Basket card

I made this card for the monthly progressive challenge over at Deedee's Digis. If you haven't joined the challenge in the past, you can get part of this month's challenge set for free to get you started. Each month you participate, you'll get the next month's set for FREE. It's a great way to add to your digi stamp collection!
This month's full set features a basket for each season with a bonus Christmas basket. There are 3 lovely sentiments also included. I decided to make a Christmas card, so I chose the sweet Christmas basket. I wanted an idea for a fun design, so I looked at various challenge sketches for this week and settled on Tuesday Morning Sketches' #313 challenge. This sketch was a little out of my comfort zone since I don't usually use triangles on my cards. That may change now!
I decided to try out the Smooch Spritz sprays I recently bought at a craft outlet, so I sprayed gold and red on a 5x7 inch blank white card and let it dry. Meanwhile, I was working on cutting out my red glitter paper into a triangle that matched the sketch. I also chose a Spellbinders die from the Elegant Ovals set to cut out the digital stamp I had sized and printed using my Silhouette Design Studio software. I chose a couple other Spellbinders dies for the flourish on the right side and the accent on the lower right hand side. I added a few little gems and a small Christmas tree embellishment to complete the front of the card.

This is what the card looked like with the Smooch Spritz applied. Some of the spray got on the inside of the card, and next time I think I might just spray the whole inside.

 

For the inside, I used a Spellbinders Labels 28 die to cut out the mat behind my sentiment. Then I used a die from the Spellbinders Tranquil Moments set to die cut my sentiment. I added a few sequins to finish it off.
