Embrace Your Inner Elf – a Christmas card with bright, non-traditional colors

Thursday, December 17, 2015

Whimsie Doodles Embrace Your Inner Elf digital stamp, non-traditional Christmas card by Paperesse.

Right about now, at the end of my Christmas card making marathon, I am sick of red and green. Give me some fushia, some bright orange, a little purple! Done. And here you have the result.

This card is for my Diva Auntie, as I secretly call her. She's 89 and such an interesting lady. She loves color and hates boring anything, especially clothes, so I know she'll appreciate this one.

Some might say, 'But it doesn't look like Christmas.' And the problem is?

The digistamp is a smile starter – Inner Elf – from Whimsie Doodles. The paper is Tactile Studio Venus digital paper pack.
