New At SU November Blog Hop One Color Palette, Many Ways Color Challenge Dear Santa

It's time to hop along with the New At SU November Blog Hop and this month we have a fun Color Challenge to explore. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects featuring the following colors: Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige. We can choose to use all or some of these colors to create our projects to help spark your creativity.

For my card design, I chose to create a fun, non-traditional Christmas card design using all of the above colors. This isn't a color combination that I would have thought to create with on my own, so it was a wonderful way for me to step outside my comfort zone and explore this beautiful colors. I used a combination of card stock, designer series paper and inks in the various colors to showcase how well these colors work together. I did add one extra color, Lemon Lolly, for the hair for my image. The patterns in the designer series paper strips add texture and contrast to the design and work well with the whimsy of the focal image and sentiment from the Dear Santa stamp set. I love how all the different elements combined to create this sweet Christmas card that will hopefully brighten someone's day.

I love the fun images in the Dear Santa stamp set and I thought the sweet little girl eating the cookies was perfect for this color combination. The combination of the Moody Mauve and Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper strips really pop against the Basic Beige card front and add some fun to this card design. I used Stampin' Blends Markers to color the focal image as well as Basic Beige Classic ink with a Blender Pen to color the cookies. The Old Olive cardstock layer makes a wonderful border around the card front and pops against the Moody Mauve card base. To complete the layout, I stamped the sentiment with Moody Mauve Classic ink onto the Bubble Bath cardstock label and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added several Bubble Bath Dots to a subtle touch of bling to finish off the card design. I love how this card design turned out and how pretty it looks with this color combination.
