NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLORS

Hello blog friends!!! 

There's a new challenge over at the CAS group at Outlawz Challenges and it's to make a Christmas card using non-traditional colors (no red and green).  

I hope you'll get a chance to play along with the challenge.

 

This is a sponged bg over a white embossed stamp by Hero Arts "Tree Trunks".  A piece of vellum was placed over the background layer.  The snow hills were created with Mama Elephant "Landscape Trio" and Viva Glue Pen "Halogen".  The deer are from an Impression Obsession die "Small Deer".  The sentiment is from Sweet'n Sassy "Christmas Joy" set.  This card was CAS'd from memory of a card I had seen on Pinterest.  I didn't PIN the card and for the life of me I can't find it again in order to give credit to the inspiration and designer.  

Thanks for stopping by today!
