Non Traditional Folk Art Christmas Design

*Compensated affiliate links used where possible at zero cost to you. No posts are ever sponsored or paid.*

You guys know how much I love folk art designs and Scandinavian design. 

So I'm just telling you early - you are going to love tomorrow's Hero Arts kit! AND, right now they are having a first ever sale on classic kits here. 

But wait - there's more! We are celebrating five years of these kits, so you can vote for your favorite kit from the last five years and have a chance to win either the winning kit OR ONE YEAR OF KITS! Amazing. You need to go here to vote, and do so by October 13th! 

This is just a sneak peek, but I'll have lots more and a video tomorrow so stay tuned! I used all Hero Hues Reactive Inks for this - they stamp so beautifully. I went with a non-traditional color scheme because who can't use something bright and happy in their eyeholes right now? :) Non traditional color schemes for the holidays are my jam. 





Loveyameanitbye.

    Lydia, this is such a wonderful idea -- and we get to see more images from the kit! I just love this! I am not a big ornament person but seeing the pieces of this kit, there's so much more to it! I am very excited about it!

    Love it! It reminds me of the Amish designs on signs and cards. The non-traditional colors work great and that touch of black really makes everything pop!

    I always enjoy non traditional colors for Christmas. I'm just not a fan of red, so this card is wonderful. Bright & cheery in my eyeholes is very good!! Looking forward to seeing other cards you make with this kit.
