This week, Christmas Stampin' All Year Long's challenge was a color challenge. We had to create a card using sage, apricot, and chocolate. I really had to think outside the box for this one. I looked through my paper collection and saw this beautiful hawaiian print. I recently bought a penquin hula girl stamp and I thought that this would be the perfect time to try it out. Here's what I came up with:
Mele Kalikimaka means Merry Christmas in Hawaiian. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Hawaii, so this card seemed appropriate.
I used an Imaninisce stamp, DCWV travel stack (sand), Cricut Life's a Beach cartridge, and rhinestones.
****UPDATE 6/1******
I decided that this card wasn't "Christmassy" enough. So I added a santa hat to the penguin;s head and christmas lights to the palm tree. I think it looks much better. What do you think?
