Well that week went very quickly and I actually finished a card for the new challenge this week.
The colors are Evergreen, Gumdrop and Candy Cane Red, what a color combo!
Not sure my green is close enough to the color they called for but to me it is Evergreen. I used a couple of Stampin' UP! sets Petite Pairs for the phrases and a retired set, A Flower for All Seasons. I stamped the flowers/bird using Timber Brown Staz On then I used my markers to color the picture. I edged the circle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter using the heat & stick powder to adhere it.
I again used my Cricut Artiste cartridge from Close to My Heart to make the red background for the round stamping and the banner for the Merry Christmas. I love the lacy feeling of it. The evergreen card was embossed with the Poinsettia plate from Stampin' UP! I then added some pink glimmer moist chalk to highlight the flowers. I bought three sets of these paste or chalks in St. Louis years ago so I'm not even sure if they make them anymore. And there is not a name on them anywhere. The pink DS paper is from Stampin UP! I think it was from a Valentines collection a couple of years ago. I love using items that I've had around for quite awhile, makes me feel like I'm accomplishing two things.
I finished the card off with some bakers twine and 3 pink brads. I'm anxious to see what the new challenge will be for next time. Check in at The Play Date Cafe on Thursday evening to see what's new.
