This card is a rather unusual colour combination for Christmas, yellow, shades of turquoise and black to make it all pop. I find it hard to use these types of colours for Christmas but am quite pleased with this in the end.

ReplyDeleteNon-traditional colors often make the most beautiful and unexpected cards. Yours is a beauty, especially those flowers.
