I was working on this Christmas card and somehow it morphed into a pastel pink and blue card. I know that literally ANYTHING goes as far as Christmas colors nowadays, but I can't decide if I like it or not! What do you think?
I am bummed the Iridescent Ice embossing powder I mixed in with the Sterling Silver did not show up in the picture, because it really reflects the pink and blue and looks sooo pretty! So what do you think--a hit or a miss?
Beautiful card, Lyssa. The elements are very complimentary to each other. I get your 'pastel feeling' and might swap the Bashful Blue header piece and the pink stitched grosgrain for Midnight Muse to see if that lessens the effect.

I agree about using a darker blue. I LOVE the pink as a Christmas color and silver is always classy. A dark blue would really give this a more serene, Christmas-y feel. I love your designs for the stamp a stack - wished I lived nearby!

I love it as is! I could also see it with a darker blue, but it wouldn't NEED to be. It is gorgeous - will we be doing this one at Christmas Club?

I am very traditional so not sure that I could do this for Christmas but I could see this for a winter card, it's very pretty.

I too am more of a traditional Christmas colors kind of girl, but this is very retro and feels '50s, so it is very fun! I love how you're always thinking and stamping outside the box. :)

I like it! People will talk about it because it's different - in a good way.

I think it's a hit - what a FAB card for a Christmas baby, too!
