Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge #131

Just another Manic Monday, yup I have that floating around in my brain right now. I am sure it will stay there until something distracts me or another catchy tune takes it place.

We have a new Merry MondayChristmas Card Challenge for you. This week Lori is challenging us to Use non-traditional Christmas colours on your card.


After making Christmas cards every week for the past couple of years I am not sure there are any non-traditional colours for Christmas anymore.  Ornaments and other decoration come in a stunning array of shades and sparkle,  I am not saying I am going to run out and buy a supply or all purple or yellow decorations but someone will. So anyway, I chose to work this pretty DP that if I had to label some of the colours egg shell blue, mustard and brown.

I started with a heat embossed sentiment and framed it a couple of times and popped it up with foam tape, I staggered the punched edges so the brown would break up the back ground a little then added some stars to finished, the top stars are heat embossed with clear powder to give them a glossy look.

Supplies: Cream and brown card stock, Designer Paper – XX, Verve - , Memory Box die cut, misc punch.

Be sure to stop by the Merry Monday blog and gush over all the fabulous cards the Design team created, comments are always welcome.

Thank you for visiting,
Nina

  8. Oh, earworms...lol! I keep getting "All About that Bass" stuck. I just joined Spotify a couple days ago and am having a great time listening to everything that comes into my head :)
    I think you're right - there's surely someone with a theme tree in every colour! That said, I think you made a great card with less-seen Christmas colours :P
