Hello! It’s time for July’s color challenge at Christmas Card Throwdown. This time we’re pulling out all the stops and instead of limiting our participants to using only a certain few colors, we’d like to see you use a rainbow of colors! You should use a minimum of five colors on your card.
I knew I had some very colorful Christmas-themed designer papers, so I pulled them out and looked through them to see what I could use. I had some scraps that fit perfectly into this week’s sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!, so I decided to join in that challenge. I turned the sketch 90 degrees on its side. My sweet little Lawn Fawn birdies fit right in with the colors and the music. I stamped them onto a scrap of white cardstock, colored them, fussy cut them, and finally glued them to the sky blue panel. And there’s another card for the stockpile I’m creating for Send A Smile 4 Kids. Their current challenge is “Christmas in July 4 Kids”, so I’ll add this card to their linkup.
And now it’s your turn to show us what you can create! We’d love it if you joined our challenge. You have until 7:00 pm Eastern time Friday, August 4 to link your card at the CCT site. Thanks for stopping by today!
Supplies:
Stamps: Winter Sparrows (Lawn Fawn)
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Soft Sky (Stampin’ Up); designer papers from Holly Jolly Christmas 6″ x 6″ paper pad (Echo Park)
Ink: Early Espresso (SU)
Other: markers (Copic)
