Christmas with a difference CI#201

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

If you know me, you'll realise that these colours brought a huge grimace to my face!!!  They are VERY different colours for Christmas (I believe!!)  AND I REALLY struggle to use Melon Mambo and never use it (unless I have to!! lol)

But, my card turned out ok!!  I think the glorious Branching Out stamp set really made working with these colours super easy!!

And then, the gorgeous Gold Foil really helped bring the whole card to life along with the blending of the Pretty Peacock in the background I think!

Those cute ornaments come from the Jar of Joy stamp set!  And where is the Melon Mambo you might ask?  It's the teeny tiny dots scrattered around the leaves (smallest amount of use possible!!)

And finally the lovely greeting comes from the Decorative Trees stamp set!
