Christmas Card Challenges #27: Color Inspiration

7 Jun

This is my second post of the day!  For my third entry into the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop please scroll down or click here!

Good afternoon and welcome back to another Christmas Card Challenge!  This week we have a fun palette as a color inspiration!  The designers have created some fabulous cards using these colors and I look forward to seeing what you will create!

Here’s my card!

I started off by stamping the sentiment from Neat and Tangled onto a panel of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with Mama Elephant Apple pigment ink and heat-embossing it with clear embossing powder.  Next I took a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it with the largest Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles die.  I stamped the Winter Bunny from Lawn Fawn with versafine onyx black ink and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I colored the bunny, sled, and scarf with copic markers and added clear wink of stella glitter to the bunny’s scarf.  I used multi-medium matte to freehand a snowy hill and then added Martha Stewart coarse glitter while the glue was wet.  Then I used my Kuretake Zig Clean Color Real Brush cornflower blue marker to color the sky and then blended it out with a water brush.  I adhered the circle to the panel and then trimmed off the bottom of the circle.  I used multi-medium matte to continue the snowy slope and then added more glitter.  To finish the card I adhered the panel to a top-folding card base of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock!

I can’t wait to see your interpretations of our color challenge!  Don’t forget to check out the rest of the design team!
