Christmas in July part 2



Tried a non-traditional colour scheme for my second lot of July Christmas cards. The sketch was from this challenge blog,  found via Patty Gorka (a fellow 100in100'er). Cool idea for a challenge blog, I will be taking part a lot I suspect!

100.78 & 79 (made two of these)


Not 100% keen on this one, the sketch is good (thanks to the challenge!) but I think the colour scheme is a bust. I just can't seem to get non-traditional schemes to work for Christmas cards. Oh well I shall keep trying!

Edited to add - I got an honourable mention badge for this challenge card! Wooo! Check it out!:

  1. I went and checked out the challenge blog and what a fun sketch! I was super inspired so I made a non-Christmas card using the sketch. I'll post it in a few days. Thanks for sharing!

  3. So glad you decided to play along and your card turned out perfectly! Great idea to round your corners and I really like how you have your twine tied with the brad. You are doing so great with our 100 cards challenge!

  4. I really like this card and agree with Jacqueline - you are too hard on yourself. Wonderful popped up panels and of course I love the pink :o) its my most favorite non-traditional Christmas color to use. Thanks for joining us this week at 52CCT!
