This weeks colours over at
are
Black, White and splash of Orange
Now, I'm not usually an 'orange' person!!
...usually just left to the Halloween crafting!!
..But, I thought I would shake it up a little
and make a Christmas card (Wahoo..My first one this year!!)
using some non-traditional colours.
-oOo-
Anyway...
...Here is my take on this colour challenge..
When, I saw this gorgeous free image of the winter girlies wearing the woolie orange and white hats (from Magic Moonlight Studios)
I knew it would be perfect for this challenge.
I put the letters JOY inside some TH pins, tickets,
white ribbon roses and mini orange pom-pom trims.
Buttons, doily and cheesecloth.
Sizzix Angel wings die, with a little stitching!

Thanks again PDC for inspiring me to craft out of my colour comfort zone once again!
