Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the ESAD Colour Your Season Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Jackie Aitken in Western Australia.

I am excited to be hopping with the talented ESAD crew today, as we show the amazing verstaility of this fabulous bundle. I love this bundle soooo much, the stitched framelits have to be my all time favourite and I can see them living in my craftroom forever!

I have made quite a few floral themed cards using this bundle and decided it was time to create some Christmas Cards with the cute Holly image.

I love NON TRADITIONAL Christmas colours - I prefer bright, vivid colours over the traditional Red, Gold and Greens. My Christmas Decorations colours are close to Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Tempting Turquoise with Flamingos and Palm Trees.

For this Hop, I decided to challenge myself and create a few cards using Reds and Greens. The first card has a teeny weeny strip of Red LOL The Holly images have been Gold Heat Embossed, Water Coloured and Fussy Cut.

The next card has LOADS of Red! Some Real Red DSP has been used to fill in the negative space left from the Stitched Framelits. Again, the Holly image has been Gold Heat embossed, water coloured and fussy cut. The sentiment was also heat embossed and fussy cut.

The third card uses the same layout as the first card. This time Granny Apple Green Spotted DSP has been used with a small strip of Real Red Striped DSP. Gold Metallic thread and a gold foil snowflake have been tucked under the Holly image, along with a few vellum die cuts.

The fourth card is my favourite. I love Granny Apple Green and it looks wonderful with Gold accents. The die cut frame has been raised with foam strips with the Holly images and strips of DSP/Card adhered directly to the bottom of the die cut frame. To finish the card, a Gold Heat embossed sentiment and two gold glitter snowflakes were added.
