Welcome!
Today I'm joining the Color Throwdown blog for challenge #716
Here is the inspiration photo and colors: Plum, Sage & Blush
Also entering for NBUS#43
Here is the card that I created for this challenge. - I really liked the soft colors but could not seem to locate any designer paper in those colors so I decided to stick to using only card stock in those colors.
Next up I stamped my image with Memento Tuxedo ink and used colored pencils to color the image. I added some glitter to the star and used a gel pen for the little pink ornaments on the tree.
I cut the image out using SU Stylish dies and Circle Nestabilite Dies.
The pink circle was cut from SU Blushing Bride card stock.
Next up I stamped the sentiment from my new SU stamp set: Brightest Glow with the Tuxedo black ink and used another of the Stylish dies. I mounted the sentiment and the image with foam tape and added 3 light blush pink dots to complete my card.
So now I have my very first Christmas card of the season made. I'd best get busy though as the holiday season is upon us now and time goes by quickly!
Lovely color combination and your card is perfect

ReplyDeleteI've always loved these colors and still have all of them. Blush Blossom is getting a little low. They were all some of my very first SU colors. Hooray for you making your first Christmas card of the season! You used these colors well with the darling, sweet image.
