I certainly can't say that I started out thinking I was going to do a Christmas card for the
Dynamic Duos monochromatic brown challenge, but here it is...
I had two goals when I started the day...get my card done for Dynamic Duos and AFTER I played with the browns, I was going to treat myself to using my brand new Christmas stamps from Annabelle Stamps. The day wasn't going my way - I had a lot of starts and stops with the browns - and I kept wanting to sneak in a Christmas card. Finally, I gave up on the browns, pulled out the Christmas set, studied the baby Jesus and realized that he would be wrapped in raw linens - browns!!!
I think it works!!
Check out all the other fantastic cards, then give it a try yourself. We love looking at everybody's creations each week. (And I have a bet with myself that we won't see any Christmas cards!!! ETA - I just realized another design team member snuck in a Christmas card, I guess I'm not as creative as I thought!!)
