Another card for this week's color challenge to use turquoise, red, and white. (I added gray as my neutral of choice.) I don't know why, but I just LOVE blue for Christmas!! (And it has nothing to do with that old Elvis song.)
I used an older SCS sketch, SC217, for this card. The layout (which I rotated) was perfect for my HO, HO, HO message spelled out in postage stamp punches.
This is a brand new stamp set, called Christmas Postage Due, from Mark's Finest Papers. It was just released this week, along with five other clear stamp sets. There is an MFP blog hop going on today featuring this new set. It has some terrific images in it, including a nutcracker postage stamp!

Great card Emzi! I love the way you did the "Ho-ho-ho" along the side. Wonderfully fun card!
