This is for a challenge using non-traditional Christmas colors on a Christmas Card. I totally cased this from here: http://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/my...y-that-is.html
On Gretchen's blog she has a Christmas Card in these colors and then a different card using this sketch... I sorta combined them.
This is not one of my better cards, actually, I am not all that happy with it and may have to go back to the drawing board. However, More importantly, I had the time to do a card tonight while the kids were watching TV and the DH working!

Wow Maureen, this is a beautiful case! I love the regal color and that punched window. Your sponging really adds depth and makes this a stand out. Very 'Twisted' indeed! So glad you are on the bus! TSMFS

Great color choice and I love this layout and how you used it to set off the snowflake. This is really special and would sure deliver some X-mas cheer to some lucky recipient!
