‘Tis the Season–CTD #271

CTD271_2013dec4


It’s Wednesday! And that means it’s Color Throwdown time! I’m hosting this week and STILL adding to my Christmas card stash!


swatch 271

My card is pretty simple in design and definitely mail friendly so that’s a big win-win! I started with a Black Licorice card stock base. Then I stamped Sheet Music Background on Sweet Tooth card stock with Black Licorice ink and popped that up on foam. I cut two copies of Winter Wreath Die-namics from Sour Apple card stock and adhered it them popped up a Wild Cherry card stock bow. I colored some clear gems with Copic markers in the red and pink colors and added them, then heat embossed the sentiment, from Cheerful Christmas Greetings stamped on Black Licorice card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink. I popped that up on foam and it was done!

The inside has another sentiment from the set.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily.
