Here is this week's challenge sketch:
Here is my 5x7 Christmas card, with white on white plus a pop of red and some green:
During my creative process, I also made a version using Very Vanilla Textured Cardstock to fill the rectangle punch that makes the postcard background and shape. The colors and shadowing on the stamps overlayed on the punch are a little different than in the white version, otherwise everything else is the same. The vanilla gives it a more "aged" look than the white.
Details and Elements
Background DSP: Very Vanilla Patterns #3
Postcard base: Square Punch resized to a rectangle & filled with Textured Cardstock (Whisper White or Very Vanilla)
Stamps: Winter Post: "Postcard" in River Rock and "Santa Post" (postmark) in Sahara Sand; Thoughtful Overlays: "Post Frame" in Sahara Sand; Christmas Lodge: "Tree"-white with [green] shadow and "Merry Christmas" in Raspberry Ripple; Homestyle Goodies Kit: "Snowflake Kisses" Whisper White with shadow;
Old Saint Nick: Snowflake (image used four times, varied sizes incl. the larger one behind the postcard)-Whisper White with shadows
Ribbon medallion: Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon Knot (resized, then copied multiple times, flipped and mirrored some copies; rotated each to direction needed when overlapping them at the center); .
