Merry Wishes

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!  The weekend is almost here!  I have another Christmas card for you; this one uses the color palette from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, as well as the sketch from FMS:


I remembered some fun black and white papers from a couple of years ago, so I pulled them out and went to work along with some other retired goodies:


These fun little trees from the Celebrate Everything DSP were just itching to be colored in with some pink and green shades of Blends!  I heat-embossed a sentiment from Oh, What Fun and backed it with some black and white gingham.  The zig-zag Granny Apple Green border was attached at the bottom, and I added a little line of embossing on the Magenta Madness card:


I added a sentiment from More Merry Messages on the inside:


It's fun to use these retro colors for Christmas occasionally!  

And since the Krafty Chicks' challenge this week is Christmas, I am going to enter it there as well!

Thanks so much for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Retro and DARLING color combo, LeAnne! Even though I bet those trees are darling in black and white they are truly more adorable as you've colored them. SO sweet!
