Christmas Card Challenges #17: Color Challenge

27 Mar

Happy Easter!!  And it’s time for another Christmas Card Challenge! 😉 Ha….feels very odd to be sharing a Christmas card on Easter Sunday…but here goes!

We have a color palette challenge today with some warm rustic colors!

I decided to break out a new (to me) stamp set from Altenew for my card!

This card is almost a one-layer card with the exception of the dark red cardstock frame.  I stamped the layered cardinal, sentiment, and branch onto off-white cardstock using Altenew inks.  I decided it needed a little something so I used a stamp set from Hero Arts to stamp a few berries and some pine branches onto the branch.  Finally I trimmed the panel down and added strips of dark red cardstock to the top and bottom of the panel before adhering it to a white card base.

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 design team has created!
