Joy

Today in Iowa, it is a cold, blustery one.  But, the sun is shining brightly and the sky is blue.  It's a good day to stay in where it is warm and work on Christmas gifts I still need to finish.

I took a break from gift making and made this card.  I combined the colors from CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge and the sketch from the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.  I think they came together well.

But, now, it's back to getting those gifts done.  Time is running out!


Stamp Set:  Holiday Florals (Taylored Expressions); Inks:  Crushed Cucumber, Mint Macaron, Real Red; Cardstock:  Basic Black, Whisper White; Other:  Holiday Florals Dies (Taylored Expressions), Joy Die (Taylored Expressions), Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (Stampin' Up!), Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details (Stampin' Up!)

The colors I used are from the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge.  For all the challenge details, click the image below.

For the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge we were challenge to choose colors from one of the 2016 color challenges and make it seasonal.  I chose Challenge #163.  As you can see, I stayed with more traditional colors.
