Christmas Kickstart Challenge: Head-er

I've fallen way behind on my Christmas cards - with every intention of making one every week!  This was my inspiration today... from the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #18:


Yes, that is our fabulous inspiration this week!  In all of my favorite Christmas colors!  I just happened to have my Altenew Brilliant Bauble set out for a spin... it was my after Christmas buy at the beginning of this year.  So without a snowman - will this qualify?  Even if it doesn't, I love playing cards with Jo and adding to my Christmas stash!


The sentiment is a Right at Home set from last year [maybe two years ago] I love that font!  Lil' Inker's wood grain cover die is perfect no matter what the scene, I think!  Hope Jo does, too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Inks:  Altenew Sea Shore, and Red Cosmos sets along with Delicata Silver.

Fabulous and festive all around, Michele! I love the snowman in the inspiration picture. Looks like he photo bombed the picture. LOL I really like the colors and how you incorporated them onto your lovely ornaments. Good luck working on your Christmas card stash! :)

It certainly counts, snowmen are not compulsory ;o) Love the baubles in red and aqua and the touch of texture in the background is perfect!

Completely gorgeous! I did consider going with the idea of baubles for my card but just couldn't find any I liked. Thanks for playing along again at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge and using my favourite Christmas colour combo, Jo x

Understated and gorgeous! Great standout bulbs, and intricate gorgeous sentiment

I realized a while ago that these are basically my decorating colors to go with the neutrals. I love them even more as Christmas ornaments.

Genius to add the baubles to this background Michele and they're SO perfectly placed! Love the way you've put the sentiment together too.
