PKS Challenge #57: Sketch with a Twist

I love Peachy Keen Sketch challenges when they include a twist. I'm not a fan of sketch challenges, but when there's another element, I'm thrilled. You can see the sketch here and the twist was to use coral, robin's egg blue and honeydew. I just received my stamps from Emma's latest release and I could not wait to use them so I decided to make this a Christmas card. I made several Christmas cards last year with non traditional colors and I loved how they turned out. I thought these colors seemed like a nice alternative holiday color combo and I think the card turned out nice. I used the new In Color Calypso Coral from Stampin Up! for the base. The blue and green are from last year's Joann's holiday stack called Peppermint Forest. I just loved that stack!! I also used Emma's dies from her newest release. Can I just tell you how easy it was to use these dies? They cut perfectly and they are so cute! All the stamps are from her All Around Christmas set, including the sentiment.


Thanks for looking and have a great day!
