I've been dying to do this card for ages and had the idea for a 'festive paint chart' many years ago, inspired by some of the paint charts I used to choose paint colours for decorating my own home. They listed some lovely colours with rather daft, but descriptive names eg. a pale grey named 'Elephant's Breath'. It was great fun working out the names of all the colours, but then a little more technically challenging to reproduce on a card many times over. Additionally, I hand-painted a little illustration of a tightly-wrapped-up baby Jesus, on to a die-cut, wooden bauble using six of the paint chart colours. To make the link between the enclosure and the card, I underlined the six colour names in white ink. It took a very long time as I knew it would, but I just had to do it!
