Hi Crafty Friends,
These sweet Christmas cards feature playful North Pole scenes with Santa, Rudolph, and all the festive extras like cookies, candy canes, and gifts. I used bright pink, aqua, and purple tones for a fun non-traditional holiday color palette, paired with stitched layers and whimsical patterned papers using My Pretty Things Santa's North Pole Stamp Set, My Pretty Things Sweet Dreams 6x6 Pattern Paper Pad, My Pretty Things Everyday Stitched Flag Dies, and My Pretty Things Stitched Circle Dies and Stitched Scalloped Circle Dies.

Double Trouble Challenge Christmas in July (Thing 1, Thing 3)
Love the pastel colors!
ReplyDeleteMeghan, These are such adorable cards! I absolutely love the style and colors. Your background papers are a perfect match too. They are just darling! I haven’t done much for Christmas in July. I usually don’t celebrate it too much, but I might have to sneak in one Hallmark movie! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful work with us at Word Art Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely and I really like the colours. Cute images too. Thanks for sharing at Double Trouble, Johanna
ReplyDeleteMeghan, what a fun holiday card using non-traditional pastel colors! I love the look on the deer's face, and of course your expert coloring, too. What brand of gel pen do you use for the white accents? Your choice of pattern papers is such a fun one! Thank you for sharing your card and talents with us at Double Trouble for our "Christmas in July" challenge!!! -Donna
