Since I've been doing a lot of non-traditional colors in my holiday cards this year, I thought this week's color challenge from TGIF Challenges would make a wonderful "Let It Snow" card: Misty Moonlight, Just Jade and Pool Party. They are not too far off the holiday color spectrum, though, when I think about it. Maybe it's just the way I've used them:
The background started with three bands of the three challenge colors arranged dark to light. They are each 1-3/4" wide and glued to a 5-1/4" X 4" piece of Basic White card stock over a card base of Pool Party. I used White Matte finish embossing paste (#141979) and the Snowflake design from the Adorning Design Decorative Masks (156328) to add the embossed snowflakes to the background stripes.
The sentiment is from the Snowman Season stamp set (#150458), was stamped in Misty Moonlight on a Basic White circle then layered on a Pool Party scalloped circle, both die cut using the Layering Circles dies (#151770). A piece of Pool Party sheer ribbon (#152462) and a spattering of Opal Rounds (#154289) complete the card.
Check out some great card designs using this fun color combo over at the TGIF Challenges blog here.
Have you made your Christmas cards yet?
