Dream Valley-Non Traditional Christmas

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good morning everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with my DT card for our challenge at Dream Valley this fortnight which is 'Non Traditional Christmas' So I was excited to get out my favourite Bo Bunny papers from last year-the Snowfall collection which is a gorgeous mix of blues, turquoises and browns with a fabulous distressed look :-) I coloured a LOTV image with Promarkers and Sakura glitter pen on the baubles and tinsel. I then cut round him and inked the edges with Distress inks to tie it in with the papers. I added American Crafts Polka dot Ribbon, Buttons and a 'Tinsel Time' greeting which fits perfectly with the image!

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Cards for Men: Merry Christmas
Crafty Bloggers Network: Christmas Anything Goes
2 Sisters Challenge: Winter Wonderland
Colour Me Creative: Non Traditional Christmas Colours
Little Claires: Christmas
Lilis Little Fairies: Anything Goes
Aud Sentiments: Bingo (Ribbon, Bling, Snowflakes)
Moving Along with the Times: Lets Go Dotty
Fat Pages and Cards with Attitude: Anything Goes
Chrimbo Crackers: Anything Goes

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)

    Gorgeous! I love using both traditional on non-traditional colour combinations for Christmas but hadn't thought of combining brown and turquoise, maybe I should give it a go as yours looks so lovely! :-)
