It's Friday! Are you ready for a new color challenge from our Design Team at Color My Heart Color Dare? This one is fun and easy for the colors. You must use Shadow of Pink, Purple and Blue. You MUST use all three colors in your project. See the graphic for the fine print rules. Do not add any new colors besides those 3 and what it says in the fine print.
Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here to go directly to #577.
I'm having so much fun with this Triangle Trees stamp set and felt it would be perfect for this challenge. I wanted a modern look with our 3 colors and the style of the trees fit the design just right.
Once I decided embossing would look best on the cardstock colors I got busy. I love the new color Royal and wanted to highlight that color. I love the look of the trees on the Royal cardstock covered in Vellum.
I used a retired Thin Cut die to cut the Vellum. It kind of looks like a snowfall, doesn't it. I wanted to soften the background from the trees and Vellum was a great choice. To finish the card I added some bling, because well....bling on a Christmas card is just the way to go!
