Non-traditional Christmas Colors

Hi crafty friends! I'm here with a card for the current CAS Christmas Card Challenge to use non-traditional colors (i.e. no red or green). Trina (Phamtastic Design) is the host and she made a darling card with loads of blue. The other team members shared some gorgeous inspiration cards too! Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts plum (retired);

Neenah Classic Crest Solar White

Stamps - Hero Arts Color Layering Moonlit Night &

October 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit (sleigh & sentiment)

Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 (retired)

Embossing Folder - Stampin' Up Subtle 3D

Inks - Memento Lulu Lavender; 

Hero Arts purple from a MMH kit;

Dusty Concord & Spun Sugar Distress Inks

After waiting for a restock, I finally received my moonlit night stamp set and decided it would look great with a Santa sleigh going across it. The October My Monthly Hero kit has a cute one and I used a sentiment from the kit too. I blended some Spun Sugar around the edges of the clouds, stamped the sentiment, diecut and matted the panel, adhered to A2 card - done! The card was dry embossed with my fairly new Subtle ef which I love. Very easy card for mass production!!

I'll also add this to Darnell's November NBUS Challenge since my MMH kit and moonlit night stamps are getting their first play. And to Merry Little Christmas where the challenge is Anything Goes Christmas. Thanks all for fun challenges!!

I'm so impressed with myself - I have well over 80 Christmas cards ready to start addressing. While I didn't finish the inside at the same time as the outside on all cards (my New Year's resolution), I did much better than usual!

Thanks for visiting & happy crafting!!
