Made this card for yesterday’s Clean & Simple Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  It was a color challenge using blue and white.  (Some people think of aqua/teal as a green.  I’ve always thought of it as a blue.)

As I was going to upload the card, I noticed the challenge said, “DARK blue.”  Oops.  One can get away with claiming aqua to be blue… but “dark” blue?  Nope.  However, I enjoyed this CAS sketch so much that I decided to use it for some needed Christmas cards.  I loved that 3 different coordinating designer papers were used on each card.

I have punched enough of the scalloped squares to make a dozen Christmas cards.  Quick.. easy.. fun.. what could be more perfect?  (Well I guess I could have read the challenge details a little more closely.  There is that.  LOL)

Happy Crafting!
