I am a big fan of topiaries.  Now that you know that you can probably guess that I purchased the Beauty & Joy stamp set in the soon to be debuting Stampin' Up®  Holiday catalog.  The set features 2 different pots, 3 different possible topiaries and 3 sentiments.   There are 13 stamps in all.  

I made this card for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge # 576.  

I used the Wrapped in Plaid Specialty DSP (6" x 6")  for the background.  This package of paper features classic Christmas plaids with gold foil accents.  I used Gold Foil paper as a layer to tie everything together.

When I think of it, I like to add a strip of DSP to the inside of the card to dress it up a bit.
