Hi Everyone
DRS Designs is sponsoring The Play Date Cafe this week, and I love this inspiration challenge. Starry, Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is one of our favorite paintings. Not really a stretch, I'm sure it's a favorite of many, but I used that picture in the far right corner as the main inspiration for my card today.
I love that I was able to make another Christmas card for myself (I'm up to 20 now!) and here are the links to the stamps I used for it:
The colors and the stars were the obvious choices from the photo, but I really like how the swirly border punch echos the swirls in the painting.
DRS Designs is also one of the sponsors of the last challenge at Stamp Something, where the challenge is to simply stamp. The prize is worth a whopping $50.00! Hope you can play along! If you fancy a peek at a Halloween card, pop by the DRS Designs blog to see my card posted over there!
Have a great day!

This is stunning Karin! You used the inspiration to its full potential and I am very jealous you have 20 Christmas cards already!
Such an unusual colour combo. Something so very nice and peaceful about this card.

I wouldn't have thought Christmas when I saw the PDC colours this week, but the way you've used them makes it perfect! What a pretty card.
