Happy Friday!! Time for another challenge from Christmas Stampin' All Year Long. This week the challenge is "No Traditional Colors". Our sponsor is DRS Designs and the winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to their shop (for rubber stamps!!) I was totally going with purple as I think it is awesome for Christmas projects and is definitely not traditional. Then I received this beautiful candy cane image to work with and realized the purple was not going to work. I know there are non-traditional colored candy canes out there, but I just couldn't do it! But as this image has double stripes, sometimes there are pink in those kind of candy canes and that is the direction I went. And my all time favorite color combo is pink and green. I do realize that green is traditional, but I don't think this shade of green really counts as it is more of a mint. Anyway, enough blabbering; here is my card:
