A new Color Hues Challenge is live. Nancy chose Red and Kraft for this round.
It’s not a color combo I typically use for Christmas, but I love the way this ended up.
It’s really past time to start thinking about Christmas cards so I used this opportunity to create one using two dies I’ve never put to use. I purchased Altenew’s “Poinsettia 3D Die Set” last year at the end of the season after all my Christmas cards were made. The Waffle Flower “Triple Line Diamond Panel” die is newer, but it’s been in the stash for a couple of months.
I die cut the “Triple Line Diamond” panel from Kraft cardstock (Papertrey Ink) and added it to the card base. It needed a festive touch, so I die cut a second panel from gold and inlaid the tiny squares. Sadly, the poinsettia covers up quite a few of them. The bonus is that I’m left with a lovely gold panel you’re likely to see soon.
The poinsettia was die cut from red cardstock (Concord and 9th) and splattered with gold watercolors from Gansi Tambi’s “Starry Colors.” I added some dimensional tape under some of the bracts of the poinsettia.
The sentiment from The Greetery’s “Sentiment Suite: Christmas” was gold embossed and die cut with one of the “Sentiment Suite Basic” dies. Instead of using the tiny die from the poinsettia set for the center, I chose some gold pearls from The Paper Studio.
I hope you'll hop over to the Color Hues Challenge and join in the fun, checking out the cards made by my awesome Design Team members and our Guest Designer, Ma-Mi.
