What I love about the holidays are all the wonderful colors of the season. The beautiful reds, greens, golds and silvers are so pleasing to the eye. As much as I appreciate the traditional colors of Christmas, I also like to incorporate non-traditional colors when creating my cards or decorating my house. I like the unexpected element of using purples, pinks, and teals. My brain starts to tingle when I see an unusual color amongst the usual holiday colors.
My challenge to you is to create a holiday card or project using non-traditional colors. That doesn't mean you can't use red, green, gold or silver. You just have to incorporate a surprise color in your creation.
For my card, I used Simply Chartreuse, Fine Linen, and Plum Pudding. The focal point is from Dawn's cute On Ice stamp set.
I can't wait to see what you make. I would really love to see someone make a Christmas card that has a bit of Orange Zest in it. That's a color I'm still having a hard time using for my holiday cards. Have fun!
(Edited to add: This will be our last challenge for the year so we hope you play along. Our challenges will resume in January. In the meantime, you can still visit our personal blogs for more amazing projects and inspiration. We wish you all a wonderful holiday and a happy new year!)
