Blogger's Challenge #78: Christmas, Non-traditional colors
My inspiration color was Really Rust. Today at school, the staff receieved some chocolate wrapped in a gorgeous ribbon in Really Rust! The second inspiration was a Christmas card that Mary Kay, Inc. The result is this card!
I punched the two squares using two different sized square punches in the card front and the top layer. I "stitched" around the outside frame and added the ribbon. With the Versamark pad, I added the snowflakes.
I added the snowflake on the inside using the Versamark and White Embossing powder! Love the white on the rust look!
Thanks for looking and see what other non-traditional colors come up!!!

Oh I love the window greeting, Lisa. Such lovely non-traditional colors! Fantastic job.
Ohhh Lisa - LOVELY! I like those colors you chose - I thought orange....nooooo....LOL But the apricot appeal really softens this up and makes it very striking. Great window too! TFS!
This is beautiful! I love the colors you used.
Great non-traditional colors Lisa - love the little window with the embossing showing through.
Way cool, Lisa! I love the colors you chose.
I love the little bow sitting atop the window. Very cute card.
Wishing you and Steve the happiest of holidays.
P.S. Not looking forward to the big 'ole snowstorm they are forecasting. Ugh! Don't they know I have Christmas shopping to finish up?
Love the little snowflake peeping through the window. Great job with the challenge...I can't say I'd ever use these two colors for a Christmas card, but it worked here!
Now that is nontraditional colors. Good job!
Oh so Merry & Bright. Perfect to lift those winter blahs.
Wonderful job! Love the orange...very non-traditional and it works so well! {SMILEs}
