Non Traditional Christmas Tidings

Over World Cardmaking Day/weekend, we started making our Christmas Cards.

I've also been making Christmas cards to go in my monthly "Card Kits to Go" (see my "Events & Classes" tab if you're interested). 

Last month I tried to do a few that were using less traditional colours.

Here is one that I quite liked the end result - I played around with it for a while before the final result...

I CASEd the idea from a Stampin' Up! project I had seen for a tag/gift box using a different stamp set.

The main colours are Rich Razzleberry, Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray along with Whisper White and a hint of Pool Party in the Old Olive leaves on the tree (hard to see in the photo) and of course the Plaid Tidings DSP which is currently 15% off.

I have also used the twine that is included in the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo pack which I have "frayed' at the ends.

Do you use traditional colours for your Christmas cards? or do you prefer non traditional colours?

I would love to hear what you this of this one!

Thanks for stopping by,
