This year I have been trying to make my Christmas cards throughout the year and have been participating in both Festive Friday and Merry Monday Christmas challenges. However, I haven't been doing so well lately as I've been busy making birthday decorations for my granddaughter's birthday in August. However, I found some time to make a quick Christmas card. I designed my card by using the color scheme from the current Festive Friday Color Challenge.
I think these non-traditional colors look so pretty together and will make a great card. I decided to use the sketch from this week's Retrosketches.
Here's my card.
The pine leaves are embossed in silver along with the sentiment and inside decoration of the ornament. A ribbon and crystal finish off the ornament. The picture does not do this card justice. It is so pretty IRL.
I also decided to submit this to Merry Monday's Month long Christmas challenge
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.

I get a retro feel from this - I think it's the shape of the ornament as well as the pretty colours! Thanks for playing along with us at Festive Friday!
I adore this, Carol! The silver pine and the soft pink ornament are sensational!!
Carol, it's so pretty! And I love how you used the sketch - so creative! I am so glad to see you with us again at FF - August is crazy for me too with a birthday party, I can totally relate!
