Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #278

A beautiful inspiration photo for the challenge this week. So many things to pick from...the colors, the dog, the staircase, things on a wreath or tree, the list goes on and on. I can't wait to see what you pick to draw inspiration from for your project this week. I hope you plan on playing along with our challenge!

so in having some fun with this photo I came up with this idea....

on this layout I am using the card has the base 

then stamped the Santa and colored with my Chameleon pens

the tree is a Memory box die and then I add some gems and ribbons 

the kids are cut from my Cameo .

I popped the kids on the stair case peeping .

sort my picture of that is not the best .

Hope this works with the photo.

Being the first week of the month it's our Colour challenge

"Ombre means shading or shadow.

The is applied primarily to describe the gradual blending of one colour hue

 to another; usually moving tints and shades from light to dark"

I also combine it with this challenge

the heart being the centre of the card ...and the sentiment.

the products used were

Colorbox colors

stamp is Stampin up Listen with the Heart

the sentiment again Stampin Up.
