Christmas Card Challenges #47: Anything Goes

25 Oct

Good afternoon and thanks for stopping by for another Anything Goes week at Christmas Card Challenges!  I wanted to play with nontraditional colors and here’s what I came up with:

This was actually a fairly simple card to create and one that could be easily mass-produced with a little time.  I stamped the sentiment from Mama Elephant with versamark and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder.  Then I stamped the pine sprig from Rubbernecker Stamps and the holly from The Ton Stamps with white pigment ink.  I let that dry overnight and then stamped a few more sprigs of pine and holly with versamark and heat-embossed them with white embossing powder.  To finish the card I added some red pearls as faux berries!

I hope you’ll play along with the challenge this week!  For even more inspiration, check out what the rest of the design team has created!

Interested in the products I used?  To make them easy for you to find, I have listed them below. (Affiliate disclosure can be found here). Your purchases help keep my blog running and I thank you for the support!)

*Note – Unfortunately as I was working on this post I realized that the pine sprig stamp seems to have been discontinued.  Also, the holly stamp from the The Ton is currently only available through Catherine Pooler’s Stamp of Approval Box although it will be available for individual purchase later this year.
