Perfect colors for a Christmas card in the color challenge today! My CAS card is a lot of white, green, a little red and a tiny bit of gray. Actually, I only used the gray to shade the lamp post.
The images are all new from DRS Designs. I die cut a couple of flourished holly out of the green then used the negative part for my bg. The lg white frame was also a leftover from cutting a larger label out for another card. I used markers to color the rubber of the sentiment in two colors, and the rest of the sentiment says "and the happiest Happy New Year" so I put that part on the inside. The lamp post was colored w/ copics and cut out.
Thanks so much for looking! It's on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, a beautiful Christmas card, I really like how you used the negative die cut for the bg of your panel.....a lovely effect. The lampost is colored exquisitely....and I can see the gray. : )

Julie, this is just darling! I love the way you used a cut out section, interlaid with a pattern behind your sentiment. That little lamp post is just perfectly placed. What a great way to show off the colors of the day.

Awesome card Julie! I love how you used the negative part of the holly..how clever! So cute to use that lamppost on the side...that makes it even more special.
