Maura is our hostess this week, and she has chosen some great 4th of July colors, Real Red, Night of Navy and Marina Mist. Our dessert option is to use enamel dots, candy dots or sequins.
Always the rebel, and because I am desperately behind in making Christmas Cards for this December (this is card #1!), I have used MauraÂ’s colors to make a Christmas Card.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

This is a beautiful Christmas card and a fabulous way to use the challenge colors, Barbara! The gold looks so elegant against the navy and the red sequins add some perfect sparkle. Love this!
P.S. You're one ahead of me on this year's Christmas cards LOL!!

So glad you bucked the trend and showed us Christmas in July! I love the gold and red tree. It looks like a beautifully enamelled brooch! The gold flourish is superb in the background. Wonderful card!
