Non-Traditional Colours!

The theme at LOTV Challenge this week is: Non Traditional Christmas! I so love the idea of using other colours....I have used distress inks in my two favourite combinations, green and purple! I added stickles to the presents and lots of prismas glitter on her hat, scarf and the snow!

I just bought this Bo Bunny paper and I can already tell it is going to be a favourite this year for me! The stamp I used is from LOTV called "Bringing Gifts". If you have never checked out their stamps...oh boy they are such a treat!

Thank-you so much for popping in for a visit!

How lovely Christine. I adore LOTV stamps. When I went away I bought a few Christmas LOTV stamps, they are lovely arnt they?
This untraditional colour of Green and Purple is so nice, I like doing Christmas cards in anything but red and green. Debbiexx
