Non-traditional Christmas Color

I love being challenged and when I feel I am not, I try to find ways to do it. One of these ways is signing up for a demonstrators online class or party. I recently participated in

 Narelle Fasulo's Virtual Christmas Stamping Party. 

She is just a hoot! You should check her out:)

She had 4 challenges for us to do, played bingo and entered a word scramble.

Challenge 1 is to create a card using non traditional colors. I chose to go with Melon Mambo color.

I used a piece of first frost and placed it across the panel. Stamped the sentiment in tuxedo black and backed it with smoky slate and added a bit of rose thread. I then added a few elements from the Farmhouse elements and a few clear droplets.

I am entering this card in these challenges also:

Christmas Card Challenges

Rustic Hawaiian Christmas Card

I love things that are rustic. I love that old time country look and feel. I made this card to give it a Hawaiian rustic feel and I feel I accomplished it with this card. This card uses a few new items from the Holiday catalog. I am using the new Galvanized CS and Festive Farmhouse elements for the word merry. See how that galvanized sparkles in the cameras view, I love how it pops.

 I also love how the word merry is in a nice shade of grey to blend in with the cards elements.

 This card is just beautiful! What do you think of it?
