Christmas Card Challenges #11: Color Challenge

14 Feb

If you’re looking for my week 2 review of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge please scroll down or click here!

Good afternoon!  This week we have a fun and non-traditional color palette for our challenge!

It took me a really long time to realize that the photo was blueberries and raspberries frozen in ice…ha, but definitely a pretty palette!  Here’s what I came up with!

I blended Worn Lipstick and Festive Berries distress ink onto a cardstock panel and then coated it with versamark and holographic embossing powder.  Next I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Winnie & Walter’s Woodland set with versamark and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder.  I stamped some of the foliage with dark blue inks and added a branch stamped in versamark and heat-embossed with holographic embossing powder.  To finish the card I attached the white panel to my glittery background panel with foam mounting tape and then adhered the background panel to a white card base.  Very non-traditional colors but I think it still gives off a wintery, holiday feel!

And now it’s your turn to get crafty!  We provide an inspiration palette or photo each week but really, the only rule is that you create a holiday card!  For even more inspiration, check out what the rest of the Christmas Card Challenges design team has created!

    Hey Jess, I love this, love the blue instead of the tradional green. That’s so funny, I think because I eat blueberries and raspberry smoothies all the time I knew instantly what they were. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

    Blueberries and raspberries? I didn’t notice that until I read your post. I love the background you created – so pretty!
