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

ReplyDeleteOh, 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI 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
This is so pretty, Nina! LOVE the pattern paper you used!
