Hello friends - Happy weekend! Are you up for another challenge this week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Challenge? I sure hope so 'cause I can't wait to see what you come up with using this earthy and elegant color combo. Here's what I came up with to inspire you this week:
I used a new stamp set called Evergeen for the tree and sentiment. The precious little baby Jesus is part of a stamp from the 25 and Counting stamp set. I first stamped the tree shadow in metalic gold ink and then heat set before stamping again with the sentiment over the top in Early Espresso ink. Here's a close up of the words on the tree (my apologies that the pictures aren't clearer - it's kind of difficult to photograph that metalic gold - especially in lower light at night).
You know how you evaluate a card after you make it and think of what you might have done differently? Well... if I were to CASE myself I would make my banner in the metalic gold and stamp my tree in green and the words still in espresso. I think that would be especially stunning.
Please go check out the great creations the rest of the DT at 52CCT has made to challenge and inspire you - they are stunning as usual! Soooo lucky I am to be working with so many talented and wonderful ladies!
Gotta run for now.. thanks so much for stopping by to visit me once again - I'm sure glad that you did. Oh... did I mention that my card is based on the sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday (see below)?
Til next time.... Hugs and Happy Crafting! D
