Fruitcake

Another fun card for the Bugaboo Stamps Holiday Chaos week. This one is based on a photo color scheme that includes all the colors of fruitcake. [It had more fun making this card than I'd ever have eating fruitcake.] For the front of the card I used background paper that includes most of the required colors. The remaining colors are included in the image, which is from Bugaboo and named "Reindeer Blocks." I printed of an additional set of blocks, colored and trimmed one of the little cuties to adorn the inside sentiment, which is hilarious one a new Beccy's Place digi set named "Here Comes Christmas." I have a feeling that I'll be using this fun sentiment often. Love it! Am entering this card into several challenges including Simon Says Monday "B" is for…? [Blocks],d The Paper Shelter's "Celebrations" [Christmas is my favorite time to celebrate… and eat sweet treats. Hence, the sentiment resonates with me] and If you Give a Crafter a cookie [the letter "M" on the card front resembles the decorated cookies.]

Made another card with a reindeer theme, this one for an Outlaws sketch challenge that invites us to CASE one of the Outlawz DT cards/sketches. I chose a tag sketch and card made by Bonnie, which inspired me to use this cute reindeer brad, some fabric ribbon, and scraps of paper and ribbon.

  3. Fabulous card and tag Kathy, love the reindeer you used. I love the idea of the fruit card challenge... using colours of a fruitcake would be lots of fun. Here in Australia fruit cake often includes red and green (yep, green) cherries, orange peel, currants, nutmeg and vanilla... so lots of great colours to choose from.
    Cheers,
    Beccy
