It is beautiful here today! I should be outside because it has just been one of those days where nothing went right in my craft room. LOL! Ever have days like that? Well, I finally finished my card and I am going to move on!
My card today is for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge and The Merry Monday Christmas Challenge.
I really like this color combo, and I know it is not your typical Christmas card colors, but I always say, "Dare to be different!" I have had this stamp forever and never used it. It was just shouting out to me today! I hope you will enjoy my take on these challenges!
I changed the card base 4 times before I finally decided on white. I tried to add a sentiment, but it just didn't look right anywhere on the card. The watercolored rectangle was too large for a square card, so I finally just centered it and decided the image spoke volumes with all the bling! The inside sentiment will reflect a holiday greeting!
This stamp is from a retired company "Outlines." I stamped the image with Versa Mark and added white embossing powder. I used my aqua painter and colored the image using Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar and Hello Honey.
Thanks for stopping by today! Please leave a comment, I love to hear from you!
Have a great evening!
Happy Stampin'!
