Christmas Card Throwdown: Merry Days

 The current challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is a color challenge which includes the color purple.  I have a work friend who adores purple and I usually need a push (or a throwdown) to play with purples!  Here's what I did with the bold colors.

Merry Days


This card started with the idea that I had snowflakes in those colors. So I added some trees, a little snow on the ground and a wonderful bold sentiment.  The trees are from two sets by Alexandra Renke - the Pine Trees and the Pine Trees Little. I love that they are slightly different shapes and some are open. For interest, I used polka dot paper for the green tree and I added sparkle to the teal tree.

Merry Days


A big thank you to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for pushing me into the purples!

  3. How wonderful - this is one awesome shade of purple, Kim - you should push yourself to get it out more often! Though Halloween seems an easier time than Christmas, right?
