So, are you all ready for Christmas? For the first time in about 7 years I've actually bought some Christmas cards which I'm really not happy about at all. For some reason, I'm really struggling with making Christmas cards this year. I think it's the heat... we've had a particularly hot start to the Summer and, since I've associated Christmas with snow and cold for the first 30 years of my life, I'm really struggling to get into a Christmassy frame of mind.
This week's Colour Q palette might get you in a Christmassy mood - or it might remind you of Spring. It really could go either way:
I kept it very CAS again, die cutting and embossing a circle of card stock and adding a WMS bloom and MFT die cut 'hello.' I also used the sketch at Fusion to give my mojo a push in the right direction.
Hope you manage to get some crafty time to keep you sane in all the Christmas madness this week!
Thanks for popping over,

So soft and feminine, Claire ... love how there's a petal meandering through the loop of the h in the hello ... such a great touch! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI'll trade your hot Christmas for the cold one I'm sure to have! And I love how you interpreted this sketch. The embossed circle is genius with the little floral accent!
