Karen our featured hostess for this week's challenge CC867 has selected a beautiful palette of soft colors, Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Mint Macaron with the dessert option of 'metallic'.
I've used Karen's gorgeous colors to create a non traditional Christmas card. The stamp set used is from October 2021 Paper Pumpkin, "Peaceful Christmas". The tree line behind Santa's sleigh was stamped in Mint Macaron with the sky sponged in Pool Party on a Petal Pink panel. I fulfilled the dessert option 'metallic' can be found in a brushed silver matte and the silver embossed sentiment. The snowflake embellishment was die cut in three colors, Pool Party, Mint Macaron, and Brushed Silver. The snowflake's center was accented with a Petal Pink gem.
We hope you join the fun this week and create your own beauty using Karen's chosen colors! We can't wait to see it! Thank you for taking a look!

Wonderful ideas for your Christmas card. Love the silhouette box scene. The layered snowflake is superb. Terrific inspiration for the challenge colors!

I love the scene you created, LeAnn! The Santa and sleigh in white against the evergreen trees--just beautiful! And I love that big snowflake, too. All so pretty!

Gorgeous. I love the bg you created with these colors -- so unusual and effective. Looks fabulous behind Santa's sleigh. The silver snowflakes in the corners look as if they are floating by and that big gorgeous snowflake is part of the snowfall. Awesome card.

Oh my, what a lovely scene you created; great thought to do your sponging and stamping onto the pink card stock. The multi-layered snowflake is a stunning accent!
