Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: Non Traditional Christmas!!

Good morning Flourishes Friends! It's time for another Flourishes weekly challenge. This week Ally is challenging us to create a: Non Traditional Christmas! All you have to do is create a Christmas/holiday themed card using a non-traditional color theme. So NO red or green this time!

Ok, so this sounded easy when I first saw the challenge, but while I was playing around with my stamps and colors, I really had the hardest time with it! Who knew? I love mixing things up, but Christmas is one of those holidays that I can only think of reds, greens silvers or golds -LOL :)
So this is what I came up with. I kinda "cheated" because bronze is a slight variation of gold! he he he :)



I used the sentiment from Flourishes "Poinsettia and Pine" that I stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on to Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock. I matted it with a metallic bronze cardstock and added a Prima flower, both of which I just found out that Flourishes is out of. The layered dies are a Parisian Accent, Labels # 23, Oval and Matting Basics A and B. I sponged the edges with Antique Linen and Old Paper Distress Inks, and I used a punch inside the window for some interesting details, then added a Want To Scrap Fancy Brackets in black next to the flower.


Here is the rest of the Timeless Tuesday team with their best "Non Traditional Christmas" projects and ideas!


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
