It's been a while since I've made a Christmas card so I used Jen T's awesome sketch at Freshly Made Sketches to add one to my meager 2022 stash.
The plaid challenge at Jingle Belles inspired the background for my card. The bright color of the plaid I chose got me pondering contrasting colors I could use for the other layers of the sketch. I went with traditional green and red Christmas colors and at first thought I had made a huge mistake! But after a while I came to like this combination. It's a little fresh and fun, I say to myself!
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made some fabulous cards to inspire you to play along with us! I hope you check them out!

ReplyDeleteI think your color combo is perfection ... really makes that bloom pop ... so very glad you went Mad for Plaid with us at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteLook at you getting a jump on Christmas! Love that poinsettia! So pretty and stands out so nicely against the white and green!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what a beautifully vivid but subtle tone-on-tone plaid, it's the perfect pop for that poinsettia! Fabulous take on the sketch as well! Thanks for joining our celebration of plaid at Jingle Belles!
