Merry Christmas - Color Dare #594

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #594 "Six Pack" and decided to do a Christmas card using the Scarlet, Pine and Sapphire colors. Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmaking #43 Sketch was perfect for a variety of patterned papers and in my Christmas stash found a 6" paper packet of complementary patterns with colors primarily very close to scarlet and pine and decided to us sapphire for my bordering of each panel.

 

While looking through my circle dies came across the Stitched Circle Tree Die, chose one of the papers and because the way the die cut I was able to cut the square around it giving me one cut for the circle/square focal point and then backed with the sapphire cardstock for the sky and border. Since I had my curved sentiments stamp set out for the card made previous I chose the Merry Christmas one for the curve. There was one problem, it wasn't following the same curve as the Tree Die snow mound but the stamp was flexible enough to change the curve.

Used the scrap snowflake paper left over from the background cut and adhered as a border on the inside of card base.  

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #594 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.  And there are still a couple days left for the March BYSHC #43 Sketch challenge.
