Christmas card again

Today's Christmas card takes advantage of a color challenge and a sketch challenge.  The color challenge is provided by Sunday Stamps while the sketch is provided by The Paper Players:



My Christmas card looks like this:


I do not have the requisite colors so I substituted with colors from the Close to My Heart palette.  The blue panel is stamped with snowflakes with White pigment ink and I think it adds a lot of interest to the card.  Stamping my own background paper is one of my favorites!  I also like the bow made with Black Waxy Flax gives it a little dimension yet flat enough to avoid extra postage.

Thanks for stopping by!
