Merry Monday Red & Gold

This week's challenge at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge is to use red and gold.


Sadly, I really struggle with gold - even on Christmas cards and all of their golden possibilities.  I actually cringe a little when I think about using it, consequently the creative process is hampered before it even begins.  I don't why I have such a problem with gold.  I look at the Merry Monday design cards and they are gorgeous.  The cards in the gallery are beautiful too.  But when it comes time to create something, I'm stuck.  

So I decided just to grab some stamps that I hadn't used yet - stamp some in gold and some in red, leave a lot of fresh white space, and call it good!  It turns out - I don't hate it!!

Thanks to Merry Monday for pushing me into the use of gold!!

  11. You make your card sound so simple but let me tell you it is a classic example of CAS - and I love it. The Nordic touch is delightful.
