This is the very first challenge for the brand new Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge. Isn't this a fabulous Mood Board. For some reason, I was so drawn to the black horse with the red flowers and the little bird resting on his leg. I decided to focus on the colors and some of the texture.

I used some patterned paper from Honey Bee, the Poppy Stamp Noel and a Frantic Stamper tree.
The frame and both set of birds are from Impression Obsession.
We are all so excited about this Blog. It is a good way to get some Christmas cards done early and avoid the last minute rush. We hope you will join us at Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge.
Beautiful card Kathy and I love the addition of the red birds on the Noel sentiment, clever idea! Looking forward to all our new adventures together on our new challenge blog!! Happy to have you on the team!!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love little red birds? They really pop off the card when you use them with black and white. I love your take on that photo, it's just stunning.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous! I adore red cardinals on Christmas cards, they're almost magical! Beautiful design!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a STRIKING creation Kathy! Beautiful design ... love those cardinals ... PERFECT! I'm so glad you're on the team for our new adventure! I can't wait to see more of your holiday creations ... always an inspiration! Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteThat was what struck me most in the mood board, as well. Wish I'd used some red, though. I really do love your card, Kathy, and thrilled to be back on a team with you, too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Kathy! Love the diagonal stripes and that NOEL die cut is just amazing. I have my card using that die on 24-7 display in my craft space. The red cardinals the perfect compliment.
ReplyDeleteVery creative card so full of crafty wonders love the whole concept and design. xxx

Sorry that I missed this. Congrats on a new challenge, and you are right. I love this Mood Board. I can see why you were drawn to the horse. But I think that you captured the colors with the black tree and the red birds. It is also a great way to get some Christmas cards done.
ReplyDeleteI love the red cardinals on your lovely black and white Christmas card! Very sophisticated card!
ReplyDeleteLovely card. The colors go so well with each other and I like all the red cardinals you used to create the scene.
