Hello! It’s the second Saturday of the month, which means it’s time for another color challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. It’s a monochromatic scheme of navy, light blue, and white, which is a good combination for wintry cards! It’s all right to use black for a sentiment or for an outline image, but otherwise the colors used in your card need to stick to the color scheme.
It took me a while to figure out what to create. My in-laws have been visiting this week and I’ve been spending time with them, so I needed to keep my card pretty quick and simple. I decided to go with this older layout from the OWH Stars & Stamps sketches archive. I chose this bear image because it would be quick to color and easy to put with the challenge color scheme. (I did take a little liberty with the colors to make the bear’s nose dark gray; I felt black would be a bit too harsh.) The navy vertical panel is embossed with snowflakes.
So, now it’s time for you to check out the other design team members’ creations, and then make a card with these colors to link to the challenge site! We’d love to see what you can do! Thanks for stopping by today.

Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Night of Navy (Stampin’ Up); Pure Luxury White (Gina K. Designs)
