Christmas is coming oh so very fast and I sure hope you all are further along with your shopping, decorating, and wrapping than I am. The kids have been here since before Thanksgiving and today they decorated our front porch with lights and greenery, raked the yard, and then burned the waste. Also got the graves at the cemetery decorated. The weather has finally turned colder but still a long way from feeling like Winter.
The challenge today at Elphine House Australia is "Christmas With A Twist", and that means we want you to create a Christmas card using non-traditional colors. I chose to use peach as the main color for this sweet image, Ebony Christmas Eve and you can her HERE. Used dies by Cheery Lynn, Spellbinders, and Marianne's are embellished with gold gems. The DP and peach card stock are from my stash. Ebony is colored with Copics. TH Distress Tea Rose was used for distressed edges. Diamond Glaze was used on the bear nose, berries and bell gong.
My teamies have some wonderful cards to inspire you for this challenge so be sure you hop on over to EH to see these beauties and join us in this fun challenge.
Still have a lot of cards to get made and ready to mail. I've been naughty and sick this year so I'm really way behind...... Would love to see you playing along with us at EH for this fun challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!
