Red and Brown Challenges


Hi Blog Friends,  Today I'm sharing a card I made with several challenges in mind. First is Merry Monday #83-Stripes, Brown, Red and Hearts or stars. Continuing on with making Christmas cards, I like this Challenge site to jump start my ideas.
 I'm sure the idea of this site is to use those colors to do more stamping but I used the colors in my paper. It took me a while to incorporate all the elements in a way that was pleasing to me. This week's Mojo Monday Sketch 319 helped!

Just US Girls 215 is also having a Color Challenge -Brown, Red, Kraft and White, which this card fits. My kraft color is in the wood veneer stars. I just love them. The paper is MME Lost and Found Christmas. The Joy stamp is Hero Arts and the Bling is Recollections.
Have you been making Holiday cards? Kim
