When you're ready to join the challenge use the direct link below our graphic. Have fun creating!
I love blues on Christmas cards! So I went a bit rogue with the color and the Pretty Poinsettia set to create this card.
The New Timeless Celebrations Bundle is where I started. The hybrid embossing folder creates such lovely panels with so much detail. Because it's a hybrid folder you can emboss and die cut at the same time! The light blue pieces are from this hybrid folder.
TIP: to place the die cut pieces I saved the "frame" after die cutting to use as a guide. I laid it on my card stock and adhered the die cut pieces in the spaces.
Next up was the poinsettia. After die cutting I used a blending brush to add a touch of blue to the petals. The ink is the same Misty Moonlight as the card stock. The lighter blue is the light side of our Two- Tone Misty Moonlight card stock. The leaves and card base are the darker side of the card stock.
My one color of choice is the ribbon in Cloud Cover. It has a subtle grayish-green tone compared to the blues. I love how they look together. A few embellishments finished the card front.
Inside I added a sentiment and a few small images from the set in 1st and 2nd generation ink. I left plenty of space to write a custom message and sign the card.
Are you already forming ideas with Shades of Blue + One Color of Choice? We can't wait to see what you create!
