Christmas Card Challenges #1: Color Challenge

7 Dec

I’m excited to share my first card as a member of the Christmas Card Challenges design team!  We’re starting a new year and here’s the inspiration photo for the first challenge:

ChristmasTones_1For my card I used the new stamp set from Ellen Hutson, Bokeh Dots.  I love the versatility of this set!  I stamped the various circles in shades of grey and green ink from Simon Says Stamp.  *Confession time: I intended to share the actual colors of ink that I used but I was in a rush to clean up my craft room this afternoon and totally forgot to keep them out.*  Since the dots were a little busy I kept the sentiment simple and finished the card by rounding the bottom two corners.

We hope you’ll play along in this week’s challenge!  Please visit the other design team members for additional ideas and inspiration!
