FESTIVE FRIDAY #18 CHALLENGE

I have been inspired, by the Festive Friday Challenge (hosted by Nicole Derendorf), to make another Christmas card.  That makes three now - does that constitue being "on a roll"?  I think so!

This week's challenge is to use the following colours on a Christmas card:




When I showed hubby the card I'd made, he said "where's the green?".  Just as well we creative types can think outside the square!

I was inspired by three of the Design Team this week.  Kirsty Brown inspired me to put my Woodgrain stamp to use on a Christmas card (something I hadn't thought to do, but I love it!).  I've also incorporated baker's twine on my card, inspired by Brooke and Tanya.

My card is simple, and I was aiming for a bit of a rustic look.  I coloured direct to my stamp with markers, and stamped on textured Whisper White card, which gives a bit of a linen/canvas look.  Although it doesn't show too well in the photo, the base card is stamped with ornaments from Tree Trimmings.

Card: Real Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White textured
