I love this blue and lavender color combo; I don't think I've used it for a Christmas card before. The busy panel here was made by repeatedly stamping a snowflake image to fill the space, stamping several generations before reinking. It's a technique that was featured on Splitcoast a few weeks ago, and it results in an interesting textured background..
The singular snowflake was inked in purple and clear-embossed. The snowflakes are from Purple Onion Design.
This card is for these challenges:
Winter Wonderland -- add a snowflake
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge #337 -- non-traditional colors
ABC Christmas -- More than 1
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra -- anything Christmas
Word Art Wednesday #286 -- anything goes
Rubber stamping, stamping, papercrafting and other projects from a writer by trade, stamper by passion.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty color combo for Christmas. I should really use it more often, as I think it conveys the feeling of "cold." Thanks for joining us at CHNC Extra! :)
