All Is Merry & Bright...Really Really Bright!

When it comes to color schemes, I gravitate toward bright and bold shades.  This is especially true during the holidays!

I am obsessed with non-traditional Christmas colors, which is precisely why you won't find a stitch of red or green in our house this year. Last year we did teal & silver...this year we're having a Mardi Gras-themed tree (right down to a few Mardi Gras mask ornaments)!

With my love of color in mind and with this photo as inspiration...

I created this mod holiday card...

This card took a little while to create, since I die cut each square and circle using my Spellbinders dies. Lucky for me, my eyes were glued to Oprah's Life Class while I was die cutting, so the time flew by (commercial break: I am obsessed with Oprah's Life Class!)

Once cut, I simply arranged the pattern, adhered with dimensional adhesive and stamped the sentiment!

The pattern alternates between negative and positive circle cuts, which I think adds so much interest and texture!

Here are some supersized close-ups to give you an idea of the dimension:

That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by!
