It's Friday and that means another great challenge on the TGIF Challenges Blog!
This week we have a fabulous colour challenge! I just love these colours separately and together, so the ideas started swirling, but I finally settled on creating a non tradition Christmas card.
The gorgeous Peaceful Boughs Stamp Set and coordinating dies are still a favourite go to for Christmas cards. So beautifully elegant and works perfectly with just about any colour combination.
I started with a Soft Suede card base then took a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock and embossed it with the Old world Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I just love the texture it adds to the paper. By sponging on some Whisper White Craft Ink, I added and extra layer of interest. To create the watercolour boughs first made a large water colour wash on a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock using Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink and a medium Water Painter. I then die cut the boughs out with the 3 different sized dies from the Beautiful Boughs Dies.
Both layers of the pine cones were die cut from Soft Suede Cardstock and the top layer was lightly sponged with Whisper White Craft Ink then touched with a little Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. A little Braided Linen Trim was added to "tie" it all together. Then a few splatters of Frosted White Shimmer Paint was flicked over the card. the sentiment was stamped on a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock that had been watercolour washed with a hint of Seaside Spray Classic Ink.
We hope you can join us this week and please check out all the awesome inspiration the TGIF Design Team came up with!
