Red, white and blue Christmas

This card is loosely based on sketch 97 on Clean & simple:

On the Clean & Simple blog Natasha said: ' It essentially has 4 items on the card front.' As well as the English Paper Company background paper, I've added the snowman, tag, greeting and a snowflake, so I think I've entered into the spirit of the sketch.

There are a lot of challenges this week that ask for 'red, white and blue', understandly as it's 4 July tomorrow - sending best wishes to all blogging friends 'across the pond'.


All of these challenges this week call for 'red, white and blue' (or patriotic colours of our country):

Cupcake Inspirations 65
Wee memories 12
For fun: 'patriotic pride'
Simplicity one layer: 'patriotic cards'
Meljen's designs 14
One powerful hour
Pixie dust studio 29
Stamp insanity 16
Raise the bar 25: 'colours of your flag'
Oh Alice 20: 'in my country'
Pals paper arts 49: '4th July inspiration' - the area around he snowmen remind me of fireworks and I've used red, white and blue
Freshly brewed 9: 'fireworks' - anything that makes you think of fireworks - see above

It's also for:

Fussy & fancy 14: 'Christmas in July'
Bah! humbug 25: 'less is more'

  15. Really nice card, Hazel! I think a kid would love it--it reminds me of the kind of Christmas wrapping paper we had when I was a kid, you know? I like that it is simple--it lets all of the elements come through equally. Very well done! Thank you for joining us at the Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge, and I hope to see you again next time!
