Color Hues #2 Second Helpings!

 

It's not often I'm inclined to make two cards for a challenge these days... but when the mood strikes, I will take advantage of it!  

This card uses the required Navy and Turquoise in an unusual way ... though I might not like Holly [EBE Mondo Holly stamp, and die] in these colors in nature, they look lovely on a Christmas card!

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend ... now back to my regularly scheduled loads of Monday fun!  wink, wink!

This is a fabulous departure from all of the green and red holly we see on Christmas cards! You never know... with the craziness of 2020, this plant might just show up on day LOL!! Pretty card XO

Rub a dub dub - lots of clothes and Michele with a tub! The holly is beautifully disguised!

Your use of color is wonderful, Michele. True, not what you'd find in actual nature maybe but fertile in the imagination! Gorgeous work!

Well my 'loads of fun' include a trip to the dentist today...yay...not so much, lol! I'm trying to slowly find a routine, and am working on commenting, so I thought I'd stop by and tell you that I really like this card. Unusual colors for sure, but the effect is stunning. It will definitely spread a bit of holiday 'happiness & cheer.' Stay safe. Bev
