Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop Color Challenge

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop as we have fun with a Color Challenge with a twist. We were given the choice between traditional colors or coastal colors and I decided to take the non-traditional option to have a little fun with my Christmas card design. Our Design Team will be sharing their take on this Color Challenge to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects for the holidays.

For my card design, I wanted to combine the Winterly Tree Tops Dies with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper to create a pretty Christmas card design. I love the combination of Coastal Cabana with Pretty In Pink and I chose one of the designs from the designer series paper to create a snowy background scene for my design. I used one of the images from the designer series paper featuring the pair of birds as my focal image. The sentiment was created using the Greetings of the Season Bundle to help finish off the design.

This pretty Christmas card is all about layers of color and I had so much fun with the combination of Pretty In Pink and Coastal Cabana that I saw in the Color Challenge image. They definitely not what you would expect to see for a traditional holiday card design and I like the fresh feel they give. I love that the designer series paper for the background gives the appearance of falling snow and the die cut frames in Pretty in Pink and Coastal Cabana add depth and dimension to the design. For the focal image, I die cut the birds from the designer series paper with the coordinating die from the Winterly Tree Tops Dies and then I applied Pretty In Pink Classic ink to the images using a Blending Brush to add a pale tint to coordinate with the card design. For the sentiment, I stamped the images using Pretty In Pink Classic ink onto the Basic White sentiment label that I die cut with the Greetings of the Season Dies. For a touch of bling, I added several pink pearls from the Blooming Pearls to complete the design. I love how these colors and designs all layered together to create this beautiful Christmas card. It is a wonderful example of how you can use non-traditional colors to create your own beautiful designs.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 34 - Cherry Cobbler

Happy Friday everyone. It's time for Week 34 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing Cherry Cobbler from the Regals Collection. I am excited to share with you what I have created using this beautiful red using some Sneak Peek products from the upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog.

For my card design this week, I chose to create a Thinking of You card design using the new Winterly Treetops Bundle with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. I used Watercolor Pencils to color the image and smoothed out the pencil lines using a Blender Pen to give a soft, watercolor look. I love the texture that the designer series paper adds to the background and helps give it an organic feel. This beautiful clean and simple card design is a wonderful way to let someone know that you care and are thinking of them.

This beautiful card design showcases how versatile Cherry Cobbler can be. This deep red works well with Gold accents and I love how the Gold embossing pops on the Cherry Cobbler cardstock sentiment label. I used a Cherry Cobbler card base to frame the designer series paper card front and also to frame the focal circle. For the focal image, I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and the colored the image using Watercolor Pencils. I used a Blender Pen to soften the pencil lines and give the image that wonderful watercolor look. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the image out and attached it to the Basic White circle die cut using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the card design, I added several Gold Sequins for a touch of bling. I love how this card design turned out and I think it is the perfect design to send to someone to let them know that they are loved.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps encourage you to explore using Cherry Cobbler in your projects. This beautiful deep red has a wonderful warmth to it that works well for a variety of occasions all year round.
