Hello! It’s color challenge week at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, and this week we have a fun one that allows for a lot of creative possibilities! We’re asking our challenge participants to create Christmas or wintry cards using the colors black, white, and one additional color that each participant can choose for herself (or himself).
After some mental debate, I finally selected green as my additional color. The first card I created looked better in my imagination than it did once I put it all together. So I checked out this week’s challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch! and immediately thought, “Hey, I can do this!” Four die cut squares, a stamped and punched ornament, a simple sentiment, a few card layers, and a sparkly rhinestone later, here’s the result:
I’m also submitting this card into the Holiday theme challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
Which color will you choose to add to our challenge scheme? We’d love to see what you select! Share your card with us at the 52CCT blog by 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday, June 19. Be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team has made, too. Thanks for stopping by today!
All supplies for this card are from Stampin’ Up except the square die.
Stamps: Delightful Decorations, Christmas Greetings
Cardstock: Gumball Green, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Gumball Green
Other: ornament punch, rhinestone; Small Stitched Square Stackables die (Lawn Fawn)
