I hope you're having a good week so far.
We're still in the grips of a cold front that doesn't seem to be shifting anytime soon.
It's been a long time since we've had such a cold, snowy winter as this one.
I'm hosting this week at Fab'n'Funky and our lovely Judith had the brilliant idea to have a Christmas challenge once a month....to help avoid the stress at Christmas and have all our cards ready. I was so on board with this theme because I was really scrambling last year.
We have the fabulous Delicious Doodles sponsoring this week.
I've used Four Calling Birds and went with non-traditional colours.
I'm so sick of all the snow and am really in need of a tropical vacation.....can you tell.
Image coloured with Copics.
Sentiments are cut from Graphic 45 Twelve Days of Christmas 8x8 pad

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Fabulous card Pat, love the colours you have used on this beautiful image and great design. We haven't had any snow to speak of here just a few flurries which quickly melted. Enjoy your day.

It is definitely a good idea to work on Christmas cards throughout the year (says the woman on 2 Christmas challenge design teams!) I had all my Christmas cards finished before December this year and that was awesome! Your card definitely does have a tropical feel to it, but the colors still work well for Christmas. Love your trees in the background. Thanks for playing with CHNC2.
Pat what a lovely card, I love how you have gone for non traditional colours.
