I created 4 different cards using various colors that you normally wouldn't think of as traditional greeting cards for Christmas. While I was at it I gave myself an extra little challenge to use a color I normally don't use much to see if I could make a card using it....what color is IT? ORANGE!!! I normally shy away from bright colors but I did it....
What do you think?
Despite the very bright, un-Christmas like color I think it turned out pretty good.
The stamped image was inked using Electric Orange, Tangelo and Morocco inks.
Do you see all those teensy-tiny gemstones? Were those ever a PITB to glue down....
They stuck to me more than they did the card - LOL!!
Everything (besides the ink) is from Club Scrap.

Have you ever made a non-traditional holiday card before?
What colors did you use?
I think it is very pretty. The blink just makes it sparkle. I like having a different colors.
ReplyDeleteI usually only like Orange at Halloween...or on a guy hot rod....However I really like our orange Christmas Card. It is really beautiful and the "unexpected".
ReplyDeleteWonderful non-traditional Christmas colors! Great challenge inspiration. My wheels are turning for ideas...
ReplyDeleteThe card is great. I like the colors,
ReplyDeleteeven though they speak "fall" rather
than Christmas but there's no rule that
says everything has to be green/red.
That combo gets old after awhile.
Love the card.
thanks for sharing
