I looked over all my stamp sets and nothing was really grabbing me...so, I went with Non-Traditional Colors. Was that the easy way out???? No judging girls!!
I tried to find a color challenge to work with online, but ended up using a paper pack that was still out on my table: Letters to Santa. This pink and green pattern is actually a sheet in the pack. I think that's about as non-traditional as you can get.
Once I got all my layers settled, I knew just want stamp would be perfect with this paper...Mr Dasher. There was just something about the plaid that called his name. I cut my image to size, added some more layers and a cute button with this fabulous pink ribbon to finish it off.

This is so pretty, Julie! I love those colors together. Dasher is my favorite Christmas stamp; I think he works with whatever colors you want to pair him with! I'm totally stealing your idea for the layered tags; I can never seem to figure out how to use those dies! :)
Love it, Julie---non-traditional, but beautiful!
At first glance, my thought was, that's not non-Christmas - then I remembered that I've been thinking ever since I got this paper "pink and olive and brown is not Christmas". Brilliant use, it looks like Christmas now that you've put it to work!
Very pretty colors and you are right, so not traditional. Great card Julie!
Very pretty! Love those colors together.
Julie, This is absolutely beautiful. Dasher IS meant for this paper:) Your details are just amazing. Fantastic!
Gorgeous card Julie...I love that paper and I think a pink & green card for christmas is fabulous! Great use of the Dasher and love your layered sentiment...great job with the challenge!
Pink, green and brown for Christmas? Yes, please! Especially when it is combined so beautifully as you have done here. I think it probably goes without saying that I would LOVE getting a pink card for Christmas...heck, a pink card for ANY occasion is always a treat to me. Love that layered sentiment, too. Very pretty! Big hugs! :)
So cute! I love the pink! :)
Beautiful color combination and what a wonderful layout! The reindeer is perfect ... thanks for sharing!
