I’ve been quite sick since returning home from CHA, so I needed a really simple card for tonight. Also, I’ve always really preferred Christmas cards in a non-traditional color scheme, so that’s what I went with. Here it is:
This card was quick to make in that it contains merely one stamped image from Peace. I LOVE this set for quick cards — you can’t beat it! It isn’t showing well on the photo, but the image was stamped in Versa Mark and embossed with a mixture of retired SU brown embossing powder and SU Iridescent Ice embossing powder. It is so beautiful and sparkly IRL, just wish you could see it as I do.
I used paper from the Provence pack by Memory Box. This is definitely not a Christmas pack of paper, but I just loved this sheet and thought with the tree and flowers it would work with the dove. I like it!!! Gussied up a bit with a ticket corner punch, a Pearl and a bit of Chocolate Sheer Ribbon, all on an Almost Amethyst base, which brings out the color of the flowers. This card is 5.5″ square.
I challenge you to try some non-traditional Christmas cards — they’re FUN to do!!!
