Isn't this an awesome sketch? My friend Mindy just started a stamping challenge blog! With both her and my buddy Marla on the design team, I just had to go play along! It was tough to give My Digital Studio the night off, but it was fun to go pull out real paper and stamps too. :)
I love non-traditional colors for Christmas and was inspired by the Festival of Prints stack to use Island Indigo and Early Espresso. There's a hint of Baja Breeze in there too course. I will admit that the amount of white space stresses me out but I'm leaving it alone. I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to leave paper unstamped! I think I'm a bit crazy. Ha! I hope you'll find time to go play along in their very first challenge. The design team is AWESOME and have made a ton of great samples for inspiration!

This is gorgeous! I also love non-traditional colors for Christmas cards and this is perfect! Love the little bit of shimmer from the star. Glad you got a chance to play along!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The tree looks awesome with these colors. And the white space looks great, it keeps the focus on the tree....don't worry about it! Thanks for playing along with us at Fab Friday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use that DP---and all the white space is perfect, I wouldn't add a thing!
ReplyDeleteYour wee one DOES have some nice long legs--she is getting bigger & cuter by the day!
Love it, love everything about it! Gorgeous colors!!
ReplyDeleteI love Island Indigo and I don't know why I don't use it more! It makes a fantastic Christmas card too - white space and all! Thanks for turning me onto another challenge blog. It's just what the doctor ordered to keep those creative juices flowing!
