This is my card for CC871. I am your hostess and I chose real red, mango melody and garden green for the color trio. Dessert option this week is designer paper. Heads up- it doesn't have to be in the challenge colors.
For my card I used the Stampin'-Up "feels like frost" designer paper to help create my scene. The gnome and reindeer are cut in the challenge colors. It's a new die from CottageCutz.
The Merry Christmas sentiment is also a die from CottageCutz. I cut it from night of navy cardstock. Card size is 5 1/2" square. I didn't want to lost too much of the designer paper.
That's my sample for this week. I hope you can play along with the traditional Christmas colors.

Oh, I just love these Gnome like "Santa's" with their caps over their eyes! Superb diecut shading as usual. The DSP really lends a magical aura to your little story.

This sure put a smile on my face this morning! That Santa and his companion are just too cute and the background dsp is perfect to complete the scene! I always admire the work you do with these delightful Cottage Cutz dies!

Mary, this is the sweetest Santa and reindeer card. I love those Cottage Cutz dies. They are so fun and detailed. The winter background is perfect to allow the images to shine.
