Blue Christmas or Green?

This weeks double dare challenge with my SCS friends was from Joanne (sleepyinseattle). We had to make a Christmas card predominantly blue.I used Baja Breeze card stock and ink on my 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 card. The beautiful snowflakes are from a brand new set from Artful INKables called Paper Snowflakes. I just love the wonderful detail on these unique flakes - there's another larger snowflake and second sentiment with this pretty set.


I added the textured blue ribbon to make it look like a wrapped package. I added sticky pearls to the centers of the snowflakes and on the sentiment.


I decided to make a 2nd card while everything was out on my work table but this time I highlighted the green in the designer paper - using a green ribbon and green scalloped circles. I also kept it simpler - not putting on any sentiment (I'll stamp something inside instead) or any adornments like the pearls.


I like both of them! How about you??
