Lesley is mixing things up once again at Merry Monday. This week we are doing a color challenge. This one was truly a challenge for me. Many of the DT members opted to go the snowman route….hence the orange nose. I decided to go out of the box with an ultra modern Christmas card! Here is a look at the color scheme. I chose Sunset, Crystal Blue, and Slate for my colors.
I cut all of the chevrons with a die by MFT and then layered them to make my own background paper. The peace saying was cut with the Cricut Artiste cartridge.

Thanks for stopping by!
Love this bright and cheery card! I love the polka dots with the chevrons too! This could easily be changed to a birthday card etc. Great and fun idea!
