Hello! It’s hard to believe November is halfway over already!
Over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown we’ve been having fun with Louise‘s challenges this month. This week she gives us a recipe challenge: a one layer card, with a small amount of color, and either ribbon or bling. I definitely have the one layer and the bling parts down, but I’m hoping the rest of my card meets Louise’s idea of a hint of color! I wanted the tree to have the most color, but I didn’t want it to look like it was just floating on the card, so I added a couple of flourishes to replicate the edge of a drifting snowbank behind the tree. I stamped the flourishes off on a piece of scrap paper before stamping them on the card, to get a very pale shade of grey.
Now it’s your turn to show us what you can create with this recipe! Link your work to the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown site by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday, November 22. We’d love to see what you create! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has made, too!
Supplies:
Stamps: Season of Joy, Christmas Greetings (Stampin’ Up)
Cardstock: Pure Luxury White (Gina K. Designs)
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, Smoky Slate (SU)
Other: rhinestones (Bazzill); corner rounder punch (EK Success)

This is lovely! I do like the tree with the soft swirls, and those swirls suggesting snow! Fab!
This is fabulous, Patricia! I adore the way you did the gray swirls–this is so wintry looking! Beautiful! HUGS and have a great week! 🙂 Mynn xx
Yep, I think that qualifies as a hint of colour! This is one of my fave tree images, love the flourishes behind, so snowy looking! Thanks for doing such a great job with my OLC challenge.

I love how you used the flourish to create the effect of snow – what a fabulous idea. Terrific card Patricia!
Hi Patricia! You always do these CAS cards so well! I love the scene that you created!
