Happy Tuesday, everyone! I've made another Christmas card using the most recent Atlantic Hearts sketch:
And I used the color palette from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown:
And here we go:
Did you ever have an idea for a card, then when you were finished, thought to yourself that maybe those elements put together wasn't such a good idea? This was one of those cards! I think the diecut snowflakes were just a wee bit too much, or maybe it's the glittery Christmas sentiment! Anyway, I had already put a lot of effort into it, so I just went with it! I used Pirouette Pink and Smoky Slate for my main colors; the snowflake paper is from Mintay. The white panel is embossed with the Snowflake Sky embossing folder. I used a retired SU die for the snowflake border, embellishing it with some metallic pearls. The sentiments are from the Peaceful Season bundle and Greetings of the Season:
The inside was also from Greetings of the Season:
It's still a lovely sketch and I may try to create something different with it later, LOL! But at least I have another card for my Christmas stash! I hope you'll play along too and share your creation with us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! Thanks for visiting today, enjoy it and be blessed!

In answer to your question, "yes", just yesterday for two challenges. I looked at it today and said, "what was I thinking?" LOL! We are twins!! However, in defense of your creation, I love the non-traditional look, the pink and all the glitter...and I'm not a glitter person :-) You should enter it in the challenge that wants mostly pink. Have a blessed day.
The snowflake paper is so pretty and I love the glittery sentiment! A great use of this sketch and these colors, LeAnne!
LeAnne, I love the colors! And pink at Christmas always makes me happy!
