Anyone that makes cards or any other paper-craft can attest to the fact that we ALL have bits and pieces that get left behind, right? Stephanie, and Lauren are here to help us put those to work for us today over at Jingle Belles!
I was pondering what to use for a bright and merry Christmas card inspired by my friend Therese and found the answer to both of their requests! Leftovers found in the Pigment Craft Co. packaging + a bright red panel of Poppy in the paper pack =
Not many consider purple as a 'Christmas' color, but combine this bright Plum [TSM] with Poppy [Concord & 9th] and add a Green-Eyed Monster from MFT
along with a pretty lavender bow from SSS found already cut, and you get one
very bright and merry Christmas card!
Take a gander at the detail from Simon Hurley's Bark EF! The only thing I had
to cut were those 'Juniper' berries from a Spellbinders Christmas Bird Poinsettias set of dies.
Thanks Lauren, Stef, and Therese for inspiring my playtime today in
such a fun and colorful way!

Ooooh, I love the red bark! Very bright, bold, and fun all over. I always like to do at least one purple Christmas card each year.
Colorful indeed. So glad you had all the pieces just waiting to be used.
Definitely bright and beautiful Michele...almost needed my sunglasses!! Love that embossing folder you used for your background too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
This is merry and bright indeed, my friend! Who would've thought that red and purple could look so merry!
Definitely a cheery card and sure to bring a smile.
Such a festive and fabulous card; and I adorae "non-traditional" holiday colors, altho actually... I seem to remember that shade of purple being prominent in Advent? So happy you could join our celebration of Holiday Leftovers at Jingle Belles! ♥
Oh I love this idea. These unlikely colors are fabulous together. I'd love to give this a try.
