Modern or Traditional colours?

 I am hosting the new challenge over at


so it would be lovely to see your Christmas cards featuring traditional or modern colourways and a little explanation too.

You will know by now that I mostly tend to favour cute and whimsical images which lend themselves very well to the more modern Christmas colours.

My two DT cards feature adorable images from our Sponsor Amanda Jayne Designs' Christmas Crackers Bundle. Both were coloured with Promarkers to compliment the patterned papers. The first was an old Echo Park pad and the second an equally old Bo Bunny pad.




If you've not discovered our Sponsors shop please do go and take a look, her images are delightful and so easy to colour.

Looking forward to seeing your makes.

See you on Saturday xx

Thank you so much for your lovely comment on my blog.

I am happy you are still finding my sketches useful. I have lots more lined up .. .. I sat designing them in a little notebook whilst waiting for appointments .. .. just need to get them drawn on the computer and onto my blog now!

I hope that all is well with you.

Love Jules xx

How lovely and festive, Sarah! Love both cards. The penguins are super cute and your papers beautiful! I'm very much more of a tradition colours kinda person. Love the reds, greens and golds. Also like the white, blues and silvers. I normally stay within these colours - my comfort zone for Christmas :-)
Hugs,
Lena
