Santa Baby

I really stepped out of my comfort zone for this card. I love seeing other people's projects using non-traditional Christmas colors. I've been especially drawn to the new trend of red, pink, and turquoise. So, I gave it a try.

I used the vintage image as my inspiration, and only used paper and embellishments if they were red, pink, or turquoise. I added silver into the mix to give it a little sparkle. The striped paper is from American Crafts. The white and silver paper is from Anna Griffin.



The turquoise pom-pom trim is from Webster's Pages and I had some vintage hot-pink lace in my stash - just perfect for this project. I added some rhinestones to up the sparkle and created the title using my Dymo label maker.

This little hottie is already under the tree waiting to be opened on Christmas day.

It's just one of those weird computer things... probably created by a man.
