I went with non-traditional Christmas colors, I just love the papers in this pack by My Mind's Eye. I also colored the 'fruit' of this topiary orange instead of my customary red. I kind of love it! The stamp set is Holiday Topiaries by Flourishes. A beautifully detailed image which is just FUN to color! I pulled out my Janome Mini sewing machine and stitched a bright blue border on the layered papers around the focal image. The sentiment is half of the Love & Joy one. A border paper punch, Baker's Twine, some orange pearls and a pretty little paper pieced bird cut out using my Cameo, finishes off the card. I also traced the JOY with a glitter Sakura pen. Spellbinder dies, Classic and Scalloped Circles were used.
Still over 4 days to play in this Challenge so go check it out!
Merry Merry!
Hey girlfriend, I just love your non-traditional Christmas cards...they're all fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThis card is another Donna creation that I know and love. A complete 180 from the CAS. Great stitching and lots of other stuff too.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card my dear!!! I am in love with that stamp, and especially the way you colored it. The orange is genius! Really sweet, and the stitching just sets it off. Why don't we do stitching more? Oh wait, I know, I'm too lazy to haul out my sewing machine. Well done!
ReplyDeleteDonna I love your non traditional colors! This card is so warm and inviting. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteSO pretty Donna! Your coloring is beautiful and that cute little die cut bird is such a fun touch! I just had to stop by and say "hi" because I love all the comments you leave me personally. You are such a sweetie! I wish I could quit my day job so I could just stay and chat it up in the blogosphere! :-)

ReplyDeleteAnother absolute beauty in the Donna "Queen" of cards stash. Love this AND your stitching. My faux stitching doesn't look this good! I love the colors you've used for this card, your blues are gorgeous together. Nicely done...again!
ReplyDeleteOh Donna! It's beautiful! I love the design and the colouring on your topiary is wonderful! I love the use of the navy - makes your holiday card pop! Thanks for playing along with our Flourishes' "Timeless Tuesday Challenge" this week! I always love seeing what you create each week.
