Christmas Friends

 Monochromatic colour palettes are a great style to use all year round.  What is a monochromatic colour palette? Well for me it's using the same colour plus white. For example black and white. But it can also be interpreted a little more loosely.  You can use shades of the same colour such as light, mid tone and dark either alone or with a neutral colour such as white or cream. Today's inspiration using the cute skating moose from the Christmas Friends is using more of the loose interpretation.

All that is going through my head is an old Elvis song 🎵 can you guess what it is?....It's a blue, blue Christmas... 🤣 now if you know me then you know you don't want me to sing it! But if you've never heard it have a look here 



Ok enough singing let's get back to the card 😁. The fold is an easy one that gives you plenty of opportunities for using your stash of pattern papers. Start with a standard card base and remove a portion of the top of the front. Then decorate to your hearts content.

The moose is stamped the die cut out using the coordinating Christmas Friends dies. A little paper piecing for his scarf to coordinate with the pattern papers used helps to tie everything together.

The tag shape on the front is replicated on the inside as a fun place to write your message.
