✨ Day 25 – Colour Challenge #5 ✨ Today’s palette i ✨ Day 25 – Colour Challenge #5 ✨
Today’s palette is a dreamy winter trio in collaboration with @concordand9th:
Wildberry • Lakefront • Harbor 💙💗

I ended up making two cards because once I started playing with these colours and the Snowflake Season Border Dies, I just… couldn’t stop. The crisp white snowflakes against the bold striped backgrounds? Yes please. And those layered sentiments add the perfect festive finish.

Today’s challenge theme is all about sparkle, shimmer, and starry-night magic — so of course I had to go full Santa soaring through a glittering sky for this one! 💫

I used the Layered Scene Cutting Die Kit from @mydiamondpress to build this snowy silhouette scene, complete with a navy night sky, twinkling stars, and a sleigh that shines in silver glitter. It’s simple, elegant, and just the right amount of festive ✨

✨ Day 23 – My Card Reveal! ✨ Here’s my take on to ✨ Day 23 – My Card Reveal! ✨

Here’s my take on today’s sketch challenge — created using the gorgeous Peppermint Twist Collection from @rosiesstudiocraft! 💗💚

I leaned into those soft pastel tones with layered poinsettias, crumpled patterned papers for texture, and a bold MERRY Christmas sentiment right across the centre. A few sequins and a twine bow finish everything with that sweet festive charm. 🎀✨
