Hi friends! It's Sunday and that means time for a new challenge at The Paper Players. This week the wonderful Jaydee is our hostess with a theme challenge: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
I was inspired by the colorful lights in the challenge badge to make a Christmas card in non-traditional colors. I'd purchased this stamp from Impression Obsession recently at The Ink Pad in Manhattan, and this is the first time I'm inking it up. I had a lot of fun coloring the images with my Prismacolor colored pencils. A sharp pencil can get in the tiniest of spaces, and I was also impressed how vivid the colors were for a pencil. I kept the rest of the card really simple with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn across the bottom.
At Christmas Card Throwdown, the challenge is to pick one of their previous challenges. I chose Sept. 2018, which is lime green and hot pink. At Inkspirational, it's Anything Goes Christmas.
Stamp Sets: Tall Trees (Impression Obsession), Peace Love Joy (Lawn Fawn)
Card Stock: Solar White (Neenah), Doll Pink (Simon Says Stamp)
Ink Pads: Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Colored Pencils: Prismacolor

I love the vibrancy of all the colours here. And what great colouring skills you have decorating each tree with these tiny sections-wonderful and bright. Thanks for joining Ink
You had my attention at ho pink and lime green! Squee! I just love Christmas cards in non-traditional colors. Your card is just so cheerful and fun. I love those whimsical tree images. Absolutely fantastic!
I love a non-traditional colour scheme Sandy - those neon trees are electric! Those pencils did a great job too - such intense colour. Fab!
Oh my word! I don't know where to start! First, I love the funky trees. Those non-traditional colours really bring them to life. Secondly, coloured pencils? Really! So vibrant and strong. It's a lovely, lovely card.
Beautifully colored! those colors are so fun for the holidays too!
I love those retro colors on those retro trees!! Such a fun card! Hmmm...Prismacolors...that might be a dangerous thing for me to explore!! They certainly shine bright on your lovely card!
I really like these tree stamps and how you've used them in this stylish modern design. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT
Sandy...love the hot pink and lime green! You have inspired me to go play if the challenge is still open. Funky trees are the best!
Such a modern card with a retro twist. Love the colour combo that you used. Thanks for joining us at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge.
Sandy, I love these tall trees and the non-traditional colors. The horizontal layout with the frame is fabulous. Such a modern take and CAS perfection
