Papertrey October Blog Hop Challenge

Hello! I am participating in the Papertrey October Blog Hop this month. The challenge this month was to use a non-traditional color combo for a Christmas card. Nicole Heady gave several color combos on her blog here to choose from. I took a little liberty with the color combo I chose, and substituted a couple of the colors. Here's the combo I started with:
Color-group-1

I substituted the blues for Ocean Tides, and the new leaf for limeade ice (Papertrey's newest color). Here's what I came up with for my card:


I used the Silent Night stamp set, the Seeing Stars  dies and border die, and limeade ice, simply chartreuse and vintage cream felt. Cardstock used was PTI white, ocean tides and limeade ice. I had forgotten how beautifully detailed the flourish is in that set!
Thank for looking! Have fun checking out all the other fun color combos on the hop!

  5. I LOVE the stars! So beautifully done! Do you find it hard to cut through felt, do you have to run it through several times? I tried cutting through felt once, but it took so many times to run it through I gave up, but it could have been the felt I was using I've never tried PTI's felt... thanks so much!
