Make it Green ...

...Or Red ... But not both
That's the challenge at Jingle Belles this week ... picked by the lovely June Houck
I had no idea what I was going to come up with ... only that I wanted green
So here we are ...


The sentiment stamp I won a while ago from Suzanne ... and this is the first time I've used it ... the little snowman stamp was in my big box of barely used stamps ... again never used ... 
And my meagre colouring is not marvellous ... 



... But it is green ... with no red 

Till soon

Green, would be a hard colour choice for me, but you have worked it so well, Ros. Your Christmas card is so sweet. I love your snowman, pretty bow and embellishments. Beautifully stitched, and great sentiment stamp.

Have a lovely weekend. I hope we all get to see some sunshine in the next few days x

Meagre colouring Ros? Your card looks absolutely delightful, what a brilliant use of the greens, who needs red on a Christmas card when you can make something this pretty?? Hugs, Ira

i'd say you've got JUST ENOUGH coloring... and it *IS* indeed marvellous, as is the rest of this lovely and very beautiful card! AWESOME job on the red OR green and a wonderful use of "under utilized" items as well! ♥♥♥

I think I LOVE your green card much much more than my red one, maybe I should give it another try.
