This year I'm trying to use more non-traditional colors with my Christmas projects. So when I saw the inspiration picture for this month's Blog Hop, I had to make something. This is what we had to work with - Nichole pointing out the photo contained Tropical Teal, Hawaiian Shores and Simply Chartreuse colors.
I started with Fresh Snow linen cardstock and sponged around the edges with Hawaiian Shores ink. Next, I stamped the tree in Kraft and Simply Chartreuse inks. The tree pot is stamped in Tropical Teal and the stars on the tree in Hawaiian Shores ink. The star on top of the tree is cut in silver foil paper.
Merry Christmas is cut in Hawaiian Shores and Simply Chartreuse cardstock, using the Type Strip Bit die and stamps. I stamped the Hawaiian Shores letters in Hawaiian Shores ink and the Simply Chartreuse letters in Simply Chartreuse ink and placed them a little wonky on the card. Who says sentiments have to be straight all the time?
The silver tree on the mantel in the picture reminded me I had silver Fun Fur and I tied a piece around the top. I also added silver Stickles on the tree to bring additional silver onto the card. I placed the panel on a Tropical Teal cardstock card base.
I love this color combination!
