So Michelle over at our Paper Dolls blog, issued this challenge...
"My challenge to you is to create a holiday card or project using non-traditional colors. That doesn't mean you can't use red, green, gold or silver. You just have to incorporate a surprise color in your creation."
So of course, I see first that it is OK to use Red...which I use ALL the time and can't stop using. So great RED it is...then what color to go with it? Well, I am sure this doesn't count....I used green. Not traditional green but still green! SO I had good intentions! But here we are with a Christmas colored Christmas card...
And YES....Argyle again! I told you I couldn't put it down!!
I think this layout is one I use over and over! So CAS and pretty versatile for a stamped image or just a plain sentiment!
So back to the drawing board! Michelle...I am going to try again till I can get the challenge right! :)
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteI love it! Perfect colors and layout! So what if you use a similar layout over again, if it works well why not. It's beautiful, as always, Laurie.
ReplyDeleteHa! Well I still love your take on that challenge and thought process you went through to end up with a traditional colour combo for a challenge to use non-traditional colour combos! LOL! Y'know you picked these colours because you know deep down inside that they totally rock for Christmas cards :D
