Merry–CTD #322

CTD322_2014dec10


Hi, everyone, it’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! Tammy has a fun and festive color combo for us today, inspired by this great vintage typed fabric. Just a reminder, next Wednesday will be the last challenge for 2014—we will be taking the last two weeks off for the holidays, but we’ll be back on January 7th with the first challenge of 2015!

My card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then, using silver mirror paper, I cut Merry Photo Card Frame Die-namics and set it aside. On a piece of Berrylicious card stock, I stamped the trio of snowflakes from LJD Snowflake Splendor with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I adhered that to my card base and popped the silver frame up on tape. I added a Winter Rose Die-namics, cut from Bubblegum card stock and stippled with a red Copic marker to simulate the natural look of a Lenten Rose. I added Royal Leaves Die-namics, cut from Gumdrop Green card stock and a silver mirror card stock center. I finished off with a few scattered clear gems on the snowflakes.

A sentiment from LJD Snowflake Splendor was stamped on the inside with Black Licorice dye ink.
