Hi! This week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown we have a color challenge for you. The colors are deep red, dark green, ivory, and dark brown. I've been using the retired Mistletoe paper pack on a lot of my cards, but it was perfect for this color challenge, so I brought it out again. I do have a LOT of that paper left over!
I was so happy to get to pull out one of my BRAND new stamp sets that I got from my Frosted convention bundle! You can order it from me on August 1st. It's called Yuletide Greetings.
The sketch is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I used our Cranberry and New England Ivy alcohol markers to color in the holly and bow. I used a little red glitz glitter gel on the berries too, because I wanted them to stand out.
So come and play along with us at 52{C}CT this week. We'd love to see your take on the color challenge!
Materials used:
Cardstock: Colonial White, Cocoa
B&Ts: Mistletoe (retired)
Stamps: Yuletide Greetings - available August 1st.
Ink: New England Ivy
Markers: Cranberry, New England Ivy, Ruby
Other: Cocoa Ribbon Rounds (retired), Clear Sparkles, Red Glitz Glitter Gel
