The Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge always has the most inspiring mood boards (see at end of post). They've got an orange theme going on currently -- not required to follow it, but a fun idea. I scratched my head and then remembered I hadn't yet colored the fox mug from Penny Black's Mugs of Joy, one of several stamped images from this set shared by a sweet blog friend.
The fox is a rusty shade of orange. The homemade resin dots were punched from SU Really Rust and Groovy Guava, then coated with Diamond Glaze. The baker's twine is a peachy orange. The photo below shows the gold lines in the designer paper, as well as the gold paint I brushed onto the die cut leaves, and maybe you can make out the glint of gold paint on the stamped leaves and stars. Also, I smooshed white pigment ink onto the green card base just to soften the color.
I worked with a lot of spare parts which largely determined the card design.
Okay, time to head over to the Peace on Earth Challenge and link up my card. Maybe I'll see you there. Have a beautiful day!

Love this. A refreshingly different Christmas card. You have managed to make all those different elements hang together brilliantly. Thanks for the photo that picked out the gold shine. Gorgeous xx
Beautiful Christmas card, love the fox mug and touches of gold on the foliage.

Beautiful. I guess we were on the same wave length. I had my theme of Orange for my Scribbled Lives group.
Have a great day
