Hello Lovelies! I'll say it now, this card is not for everyone, but it's a celebration of color that I had a lot of fun putting together. The 3D Box Stencil let me experiment with this unusual color combo to make a very lively Christmas card!
I found this color combo on Instagram where a model was wearing a fabulous outfits in these hues, so of course my brain said, "make a card with it" and that's how we ended up here...
