I thought I'd play along with the Embellish Magazine Holidays Color Challenge, which uses these colors as inspiration:
This is what I came up with:
I had a lot of fun using these colors; not ones I'd usually think to use for holiday cards. But I think they worked well, especially with the homespun feel of the stamp images. Lots of Cuttlebugging on this one - this Herringbone folder has been getting a real workout lately! It's hard to see in the pic (since it's so tiny), but the reindeer has an itty-bitty rhinestone for a nose (I colored it with a Sharpie to match the sentiment ink color). I thought it helped tie the colors together nicely. TFL!
Card Supplies:
Stamps: Martha Stewart; Ink: ColorBox pigment "Chestnut," Ink It Up! pigment "red;" Patterned Paper: DCWV; Accessories: Cuttlebug / Herringbone embossing folder / circle Nestabilities; rhinestone, Sharpie, corner rounder punch, foam dimensionals
This is so chic, Lisa! You used those colours perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific! Love the herringbone mixed with the diamonds, and I'm always a sucker for an aperture.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! Your card makes me want to run to my craft room to see if I have the Herringbone CBF (and buy it if I don't). Is a person a hoarder if they don't even know what they own? Thanks so much for playing along with Embellish!
