This week's Free for All is to make a card with the primary colours - red, yellow, blue. Since I'm mostly making Christmas cards, I thought about how to use them for that.
I used my stamp of Santa flying over old London. I stamped in black and heat embossed, then sponged blue ink for the sky and coloured some of the buildings in red and various shades of yellow. I cut the image in four and mounted it on black cs to give the impression of looking out through a window. I used red dp and a red cardbase.
It's also for my September quota and the special September challenge of "falling snow" for the Christmas Card Challenge.

Wow, Susan, I am so impressed with your card. Great stamped image and wonderful way to get in those three primary colors. Love it.

Love the way you've colored the buildings and the image of Santa and his reindeer flying through the sky! What a wonderful window view. One all the little ones would like to see!
