Happy Christmas to All Card

Here is a card I made for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #8. I really love to make Christmas cards, and this week's layout really had me perusing the Christmas stamp sets. I decided to use the Lovely as a Tree and the Wandering Words stamp sets to make the "scene" and the Just Believe set for the sentiment.

This Week's Stamping Challenge

I have really enjoyed the stamping challenges lately because I am trying to get different ideas and it's fun to try to stick to a layout or color scheme. This week's challenge on The Paper Players is a challenge by Nance, it's kind of a ribbon look card. I decided to go with a holiday card using one of my favorite retired stamp sets. I love the Santa! I colored him with the Watercolor Wonder crayons and blender pens and then added iridescent ice embossing powder to the trim of his coat and his beard.

Christmas Inspiration

When I think of Christmas cards, I think of Cherry Cobbler because it is such a rich, beautiful color. It goes well with greens from Garden Green to Wild Wasabi, and Old Olive in between. This week's challenge by The Paper Players is to make a Christmas card using red and green. Bet you can guess which red I used!
