Christmas Brother and Sister

Well here we are at the last Anything Goes Challenge for 2017 over at Morgans ArtWorld Challenge blog. I don't know about you but 2017 has been a pretty full on year for me and I am looking forward to perhaps winding down for Christmas and New Year and hopefully having a more relaxed 2018, but hey we will see how it goes. Here is my project:

Card Tip:

it always amazes me how different a card can look when you change the colour scheme. I created a card last year with the same image with a completely different colour scheme, here they are side by side:

Isn't it amazing how different the the cards look with the different colour schemes, one intense and vibrant, the other soft and pastely. So next time your feeling without mojo, grab an image you have created with before but change up the colour scheme, you wont' regret it.

Card Stock: Creative card stock, white 4 3/4 x 7 card base.

Papers: Bazzill holiday wishes pattern paper.
