I have chosen combo #81 from July this year as I love pink and grey together!
The second challenge I would like to enter is sketch challenge #102 at CAS(E) this Sketch. They do come up with some lovely sketches and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with this one.
I have used the 'Bauble Flourish' stamp from IndigoBlu, one of my favourite stamp companies. I have flipped the sketch, masked off the bauble and stamped it across the corner with VF 'Smokey Gray'. I then masked off the flourish and stamped the bauble twice, once onto the card and once onto a piece of pink cardstock. The bauble has been die-cut and mounted on foam pads. The sentiment stamp is by Hot Off The Press. I found a scrap of card to match the 'Crumb Cake' lighter shade of grey and cut a frame partly with a die and partly by hand. I felt the card needed something to finish it off so without using any more colour, I have highlighted the bauble, flourish and greeting with Stickles.
Thank you for visiting today. Having a well-earned day off tomorrow and taking my Mum Christmas shopping!

The simple elegance of your card is very nice! You've really nailed the idea of taking a non-traditional color combo and turning it into a lovely Christmas card - way to go! :) Thanks so much for joining us this week at CAS Colours & Sketches.
