Happy Friday Eve, Bleeps! Thursday already?! For me the week is moving on along just like I wanted. Well, I'm back today with a special surprise! I'm starting to share a little color inspiration with you all for the holiday cards I am planning to showcase throughout December here on the blog. In case you haven't noticed, the past few days, all of my cards have been Christmas/Winter themes. I'm not going to hold myself to it, but thought it would be a fun challenge for myself. So, I thought why not share with you all my color inspiration.
Feel free to create holiday cards using the color combination. The graphic is also available for you to save to your computer by right-clicking the image and selecting the "Save Image As" option, then upload it to your blog. I like fun and different holiday color combinations, which is why I am challenging myself to try a new holiday card every time I post to the blog this month!
Feel free to join me. If you do, I'd love to see what you created by linking your card posted in the comments. This is not a 'challenge' but just something fun to inspire my Bleeps out there to make more holiday cards!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
