I really like the image and the non-Christmas paper gives it a modern edge.

Your shading is very good, and I like the antique-ing you did around the edges. The blue gives sort of a 'halo' effect, and your S/B is just fine with this image. The image is the focus, so you don't really need to mat it! Your papers are very nice with this image, and perhaps if you had used Christmas-specific papers, might have detracted from it. Your paper colors are subtle with the image, and let the image be what draws in the eye. I think it is a really lovely card, and thanks for sharing!!

I think it's lovely and traditional. So what if the background paper doesn't have a holly leaf in sight? It doesn't detract from the main image which is very eye catching. <br /><br />Stop being so hard on yourself!<br /><br />Thanks for joining in with my challenge. Good luck.<br /><br />Hugs<br />Sarn xxxSarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174058971522723860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497071172006284715.post-41013293757870972292012-10-27T03:54:30.685-04:002012-10-27T03:54:30.685-04:00Brenda!!

I love the image - we don't see enough traditional ones that illustrate the real meaning of Christmas! The papers you chose match the colours perfectly too. <br /><br />I struggled with Spectrum Noirs for ages.

There are tons of videos there. Maybe we can learn together. It's on my bucket list for winter. :-) along with 1000 other things.
