On the 15th of the month, The Creative Crew posts a card according to a monthly challenge. This month it was my turn to create the challenge and it is:
Non Traditional Christmas Colors
I thought it would be fun to stretch our creativity a bit and create a Christmas card that features colors that are not traditionally used at Christmas.
Here's my card >>>>
The wreath, "Peace" and ornaments are all glittered with clear Wink of Stella. I think I need an actual camera instead of my phone to get better photos. Everything is popped up with foam strips.
I chose the background panel thinking that it looked like the night sky.
Kit contents:
2 folded card bases in colors that coordinate with the DP. The card bases are from an ancient pack called Country Patchwork by Making Memories.
DP is from the pack called Ink Drops - Dusk by Craft Consortium.
The images are All Together Holiday by Taylored Expressions, stamped with “INTENS-ified Black” by Hero Arts ink.
Ribbons are all from my Big Box of Ribbons
Adhesive gems from The Paper Studio
White flowers by Prima
Sequins are from Close to My Heart
I used Castle colored pencils for the ornaments, then Wink of Stella to give them all a shine.The wreath is a die set called Ornate Circle by Pinkfresh Studio. I love it!
