Non traditional Christmas colours

Artemio manuscript, Memory Box jingle bells, Sizzix sentiment die.
At Less is More this week, we have a colour challenge to use non-traditional colours for a Christmas card. I did go a little mad so this post is going to be rather picture heavy!
SU tree, Clearly Besotted sentiment
Clearly Besotted stamps, Couture Creations embossing folder, Spellbinder slider.
Memory Box Trees, unknown DP, 'Christmas' - Simon Says Stamp, Wishes - Tattered Lace. Dienamics pierced circle.
Impression Obsession village die-cut, same make dies as above for the sentiment.
This is the one I popped on the Less is More Blog. A free Penny Black stamp clear embossed and inked with Weathered Wood  distress ink! Sentiment by Sizzix .
Finally a change of colour... a little stamp and die set from Poppy Stamps with a sentiment form Memory Box. Coloured with Mirage pens and a little Glamour dust added. 
I've had quite a bit of fun this week.

I shall be going to the NEC for the craft Show on Thursday this week, I'd love to say hi if any of you are intending to be there too!

Email me if you're going!
Have a great week!

  3. WOW!!

    Some stunning cards from you, as always, Chrissie. I love, love, love the last one with the little pink houses and trees.

    Have a good time at the NEC, I am very envious, but could imagine my spending way too much money if I went!!

  4. What a fabulous range of cards! Love all of the dies and colours you have used. Those PB trees look gorgeous against the weathered wood. I'm going to the NEC on Sunday - it's a shame that I won't get chance to see you. I hope you have a great time :)
