Non-traditional Christmas colors…
Well, I know I said yesterday’s post would be showing you the last of my Christmas creations, but then Shelly posed this week’s Rubbernecker Blog challenge to create a Christmas card using non-traditional Christmas colors. So I’m back with another Christmas creation.
I shamefully CASE’d this design from the very talented (and fellow SCS Dirty Girl Alumni) Amy Rohl. Her card really caught my eye and I knew I would use the layout for my own Christmas cards. Since I don’t yet have my Top Note die (it’s on it’s way now, after being backordered), I used the largest of my Labels One Nestabilities dies for the DP layer.
It’s a pretty simple card, really. It was fairly easy to mass produce. The only challenge I found was that now I have an aching shoulder from running the card bases through the Cuttlebug and the dies through the Wizard! Oh, and from punching out the snowflakes!
I wish you could see this paper in real life. All of the snowflakes are very glittery!
You’re all invited to play along in this challenge with us. Just link your completed, non-traditional colored Christmas card to today’s post on the Rubbernecker Blog . It’ll be really cool to see the color combinations!

I really like the simplicity of this!! And the colors, too!!
All the glitter/shimmer really makes this fun!
How lovely! I love the card, and the original you cased as well. It’s funny – I have the top note die, but I am still waiting on the nestabilities label dies! Maybe I should cut some for you, and we can swap die cuts! I hope you have a great remainder of the week!
Beautiful, Broni!!! I love the colors on this and that paper is gorgeous!!! What a super cool little banner you used for the sentiment, too…such an AWESOME design!!!
Beautiful Christmas card with non-traditional colors!! I love your embossing, pretty paper, and sparkly snowflake!!
Beautiful card Broni !The DP really is beautiful! Love the embossing and the font of the sentiment!
What a really cool font on that stamp Broni! And simple is wonderfully refreshing sometimes isn’t it?
So pretty, Broni! I love that snowflake paper! And I love non-traditional colors for holidays! 🙂

No matter what you do, I’m always inspired by your work!
