Paper Players Color Challenge #567

 

Hello & Welcome!


Today I'm joining in on the current Paper Players Color Challenge #567

 

Here is the color scheme: Grey, White, Black & Silver.  - A really neat combo.

I decided to make a Christmas card using these colors.  I know it seems weird for a holiday card but I assure you it works.  Be sure to check out the Design Teams cards as well as there are several Christmas/Winter themed cards using these colors. - It was hard to photograph this but the silver is shimmery.  I really miss this card stock that SU use to carry in both gold, silver and white.

For my card I started with a black card base.  Then I stamped the wood grain texture with Smoky Slate Ink.  Over that I stamped the Peaceful Wishes Greeting with Versamark ink and Bold Black embossing powder.

I added a strip of black,grey & silver designer paper a punched border of snowflakes in brushed silver card stock.  The I punched out my cardinal with brushed silver card stock, the poinsettia in black and white cs, the holly leaves in silver, the berries in white.  I glued the cardinal down on Basic White cs, added the poinsettia piece which I mounted with foam tape.  I also used some white/silver cording and a touch of glitter to the center of the flower.

Sentiment Stamp is from SU (Peaceful Wishes)*retired.

Bird and Poinsettia Dies are from Momenta

Background Stamp Momenta

Circle Die - Spellbinders

The woodgrain background and that wonderful strip of sparkly, striped paper, twine and snowflake border add just the right amount of detail without detracting from your fabulous diecut bird. Thanks for playing along with my colour challenge over at The Paper Players this week!

  6. Wow, you did an amazing job with these colors! I love them for Christmas, just as in the last few years I fell in love with black/gold/white combo for Christmas. Cool dies and the wood grain stamp fooled me. I thought it was designer paper. It's great! Beautiful card, Ida!
