I love these color combos and think they are terrific for Christmas! In fact I bought a roll of kraft paper just to wrap gifts and cover it with red twine, ribbons and tags...I think the presents will look so pretty under the tree! I actually had this piece of kraft already stamped with some branches and pine cones from a set my BFF has...I had pulled it out and also found this strip of red in the same box, so I had mounted it on the side and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but then the
MERRY MONDAY Challenge came up and voila... and I just realized this would work for the
FESTIVE FRIDAY CHALLENGE ! It was craft red and green AND peace. I pulled out Mistletoe and Holly and die cut my mistletoe with some ripe avocado paper and then stamped the design with simply chartreuse.
Paper: PTI kraft, Authentique collection: wonder, pure poppy
stamps: Mistletoe & Holly, Peaceful Pinecones, Love Lives Here: Holiday
dies: Mistletoe & Holly
Ink: versamark, simply chartreuse, MFT colorbox red hot
May Arts twine

Great christmascard Colleen. Here the kids are to school also I miss them but I also like the silence and I'm of crafting.
I'm also working at my christmasstash today I counted my cards and I already have 68 cards made due to all those great challenges. Keep them coming.
I love this rustic card, Colleen! I think your idea of wrapping gifts is wonderful and will look so nice. You'll have to take pictures so we can see you tree with all those pretty presents beneath it. Thanks for coming over to share this with us at Merry Monday!
