christmas card challenge 16...non traditional colours

this weeks challenge theme is chosen by Sylvie...




not a colour that I would normally use but I think it works okay....all the papers and sentiment are tattered lace from the "over the mantle collection...".the card shape and the oval are cut using my scan and cut.....
please pop round the blogs of the other girls...the links are on my side bar...we aremore than half way through the year and my christmas card stash is well up......

So beautiful Margaret, I love this colour and your dies and card shape are wonderful.
I thought I'd scheduled my post, did it yesterday, but just found it hasn't worked. My brain is all over the place just now, hope your weekend is going well, Kate x

Yes, you normally don’t use this strong purple everywhere and it works so beautifully that I want to copy it:). I love the unique card shape and the saying done in layers with the snowflakes in the background. Wonderful
