LIST: Colours (red, black, white, blue), Techniques (stamping, colouring with chalk), Elements (botanical focal image with two types of flowers, frame, ribbon bow, sentiment stamped directly on card base)
INCLUDE: red, black, white, basic layout,
MODIFY: occasion to Christmas, red flowers to die cut trees, blue flowers to snowflakes, stamped sentiment to die cut sentiment
EXCLUDE: ribbon
SPIN: geometric stenciled background, square card
I really focused on the almost-'polaroid' layout of a smaller focal area with an uneven 'frame' of card base around it, and putting the sentiment directly on the card base.
My focal area was created using one stencil on two separate panels, one red, one green. I cut the trees from the green panel and popped them up on the red rectangle.

Ardyth, this is such a striking holiday card. The stenciled patterns are so vibrant and the green trees pop against the red background. I love the contrast of the black sentiment on the white.

Wow, I love how that the same stenciled pattern looks so different in the two tones and how great they look together. So creative to cute the trees from the stenciled panel. Awesome design, Ardyth.
