My friend Marisa Ritzen is on the design team at Inkspirations (now you know how I got my post's title!), and yet somehow, I have never played in their challenges. Until today.
Here's the current color challenge:

My interpretation --
When I first looked at the color palette, it did not say "Christmas" to me. But I was determined to make it a Christmas card, just so I can add another one to my pile!

I'm entering at Mark's Finest Papers, too, where you need to use a bow. Does a ribbon count?? ;)
That's it for now. Thanks for joining me!
