Have a Bright & Cheery Christmas…sometimes a simple sentiment is perfect! This card was inspired by a fun new sketch over at Retro Sketches…their sketches always keep me on my toes!
I had lots of fun deciding which pattern papers to use. I love the contrast of the peppermint stripes with the black background and print. A little barrier of red helps keep the patterns from overwhelming each other.
Simple and fun! I love that the embellishment is also the sentiment, it’s a twofer! Candy Dots and a big floppy bow finish the card off with just the right amount of fun:)
Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Shannon, this couldn’t be cuter! Love the curl-e-que patterned paper and the peppermint paper, and the way you separated them by the red. Darling!
