I used the closest colors I had to rose red, hello honey and garden green. I started out making the plaid paper, then made a smooshed watercolor BG using antique linen distress ink and added some Heidi Swapp gold color shine. The berries were stamped, masked, the holly added, also masked and the pine stamped. The panel was framed with pure poppy and placed on the plaid base. I added the sentiment and a few sequins. It's an honor to be one of the guest designers for the CC this month.

What a happy Christmas card, Sue! I can't believe you created that plaid paper! Beautiful. Love the center panel, too, with the holly, berries and pine springs. We're so glad you're joining us this month as a Guest Designer!
