This month's blog hop challenge was to use nontraditional colors to create a holiday card. I started off with a totally different color combination and made six cards with slight variations. Then I realized I'd substituted Select White for the Soft Stone since I got a sharper image on the white. You won't see those here because some of you are sure to receive one of them in the mail. When I started over, I chose a totally different color scheme, one I definitely wouldn't have chosen for a Christmas card, but I rather like the results. Here's the color palette:
Although the color's not listed, there's clearly some cream in the inspiration post, and I added a Vintage Cream tag. Everything on the card is Papertrey: Sweet Blush, Scarlet Jewel, Dark Chocolate, and Avocado Green cardstocks, and Sweet Blush ribbon. I used the Herringbone Impression plate, the chevron dies, Block Alpha, and Tag Sale #3. For some reason the Scarlet Jewel isn't showing up particularly well in either photo.
It was fun to break out of the Christmas red and green box for awhile.
