Welcome to the Stamping Inkspiration July Blog Hop and this month we are celebrating Christmas In July with a Color Challenge. We were given the choice of two different color palettes, one for warm wather and one for cold weather, and I decided to choose the cold weather color combination as shown below. It includes Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Sahara Sand and Early Espresso and we have been challenged to use at least three colors.

This traditional Christmas card design was so much fun to create and really helped me get into the spirit of Christmas in July. The combination of Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Cherry Cobbler are perfect for creating traditional Christmas designs and the Silver embossing and pearls help step it up to the next level. For the poinsettias, I heat embossed the stamped images with Clear embossing powder and layered them using a Stampin' Dimensional to add dimension to the flowers. The leaves have been stamped with Evening Evergreen Classic ink to create the foliage in the background.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects with this color challenge. There are so many wonderful options to explore, whether you choose traditional like I did or something more modern and fun.
