I'm elated to be your color challenge hostess for this week's CC874! I've selected some springy colors, Pale Papaya, Old Olive, and Balmy Blue with the dessert option of 'Anything Goes'!
Although the colors remind me of spring, I chose to create yet another non-traditional Christmas card. The Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder is one of my favorites and I'm super pumped it's being carried over to next year. The bouquet was created by using masks. All the images were stamped with dye ink followed by using an aqua pen to mute the colors. My dessert option was adding a tad of Flirty Flamingo ink to accent the poinsettias. The basket was stamped in Crumb Cake a neutral option. The Balmy Blue background is embossed with dots (my apologies the picture isn't clear enough to see them) For a bit of glitz, Wink of Stella was added to the die cut background.
Please join in this week's challenge, you'll make my day/week if you do! Thanks for taking a look!

This is such a joyous Christmas card. It immediately made me smile. I really enjoy the white foliage on top of Balmy Blue. The basket of flowers gives a nice burst of color.

That frame is stunning and I can imagine you using it a lot. Perfect backdrop for your gorgeous basket of bloom. Mary is right, this definitely has "wow" factor. Great card.
