A Nordic Christmas Card

At the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown this week the them is to make a Nordic Christmas card


Don't know what that is .... read on

"Simply put, it's rustic, minimalist, cool, cozy, calm and peaceful. That means Natural and Neutral tones such as wood, black, white, kraft, silver, wheat. The most popular accent colour is Red.  Green or Blue are alternative complimentary colours but avoid using all three unless you have lots of neutral colours and  space to maintain the uncluttered feel. Repeat patterns are another common feature. It's all about light and purity. For texture, opt for natural material such as wood, straw accessories, tree branches, pine cones, linen."

So - here is my take on the theme


Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: White Christmas, Holiday Home, Special Season (retired)
Ink: Real Red
Card Stock: Whisper White, Real Red
Accessories: Dimensionals
