Christmas Plaid

Mornin' y'all!  I had some fun in my craft room yesterday, which is good since today will be spent in the kitchen.  I have brownies baking for Mississippi Mud right now.  But let's talk about today's card:


I thought about adding gold accents, but I decided I liked it how it is.  I was inspired by the Card Concept challenge:


I like the picture, but I'm glad my kitchen isn't all white ; )  The photo led me to do a CAS design with a white card base and a limited use of patterns.

This also counts for the Festive Friday challenge:


My second time playing this challenge, I got red, white, green, stripes (the DSP strips count as stripes, right?), Christmas tree, and Christmas sentiment.  I stamped "Merry Christmas" on the inside of the card.

Next up is the Color Dare Challenge:


I see that as Real Red and Evening Evergreen, which dovetails perfectly with the Card Concept inspo pic.

And last up, the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge, also for the second time:


Here's the sketch I chose this time:


Man, I was all set to say I followed the sketch more closely this time, but I did put the sentiment underneath the other elements instead of on top.  Oh well, I still like what I made.

Brownies are about to come out of the oven so I'd better get ready to add the marshmallow fluff on top.  Cheers!
