It's time for Week 47 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and this week we are showcasing Lost Lagoon from the Subtles Collection. This pretty blue-green color is perfect for Winter themed projects and I couldn't resist using it to create a sweet Christmas card to celebrate the holidays.
For this week's card design, I chose to use the Christmas Friends Bundle and combined it with one of the designs from the A Little Latte Designer Series Paper to create this fun and festive card. I love the ombre feel of the striped designer series paper and how it adds wonderful texture to the background. This pretty clean and simple card design is sure to bring a smile to someone's face when they receive it for the holidays.

To create this week's card design, I chose to add a piece of the striped Lost Lagoon Designer Series Paper to create the background. It's a great way to add color and texture without a lot of work. For the background circle, I embossed it using the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to add some subtle texture and then gently brushed Lost Lagoon Classic ink over the raised embossing using a Blending Brush to help bring out the detail of the snowflakes. I added the circle to the center of the card front and then added the polar bear image that I colored with Stampin' Blends Markers to add a pop of color. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to help pop up the bear to add some dimension to the design. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Lost Lagoon ink onto the Basic White label and then added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it below the focal circle. to complete the card design, I added several of the Loose White Snowflakes for a little extra texture and interest.
