"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!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! I totally love the colors and the red pearl embellies are perfect!!!
ReplyDeletePlease don't put the argyle down! You do wonderful things with it! Wish I used mine half as much. I find I am a bit addicted to red as well, I say, just go with it! Love this card Laurie. You're amazing! Oh and I saw your card in PC YOU GO GIRL!
ReplyDeleteOOOH LOVE this card.... this is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCome and visit my blog sometime! hugs xo
Okay, so all the argyle being used has got me putting it in my shopping cart! Really a super versatile stamp that argyle. Love your card, Laurie-even if it is traditional colors:)
ReplyDeleteI love it! Of course, I love everything you make! Great photo props, by the way. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou make the argyle look so easy!! Great card.
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful!!! Now I need to add Argyle to my wish list! ;o)
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

Well, it may not qualify for the challenge but it is still beautiful! Love the red paired with the light green! It's so striking!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Great polka dot ribbon! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a classic design in a wonderful color combo! Love that dotty ribbon and the argyle!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE red too, and you surely know how to ROCK it too :) Great card, love that pale green!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, this is so, so pretty. I just love your colors together. The sentiment is so perfect in the bright red ink. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLove this......AND the traditional colors!
ReplyDeleteDon't stop with the argyle 'cause you use it perfectly!!! I love that background set and your cards remind me of why I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny :) I'm sure a non-traditional green counts just fine!
