Hello everyone,
It is the 2nd Saturday in May and it is time for a colour challenge over on the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge.
I must admit that colour challenges are a challenge for me. This one definitely threw me as they are colours I don’t normally use, especially peach. To make this card I did take a trip to my local Kasiercraft store and luckily they had some peach and grey cardstocks. They were a darker shade than shown in the challenge but these would work.
To construct my card I cut panels slightly smaller than my A6 card front from each of the cardstocks. From the grey cardstock I cut out 3 stars using my dies from Paper Rose Studios and then sprayed this panel with some White Iridescent Kasiermist Ink from Kasiercraft. While this was drying I ran the peach cardstock through my Gemini Jnr machine with a various dots embossing folder just to give some dimension behind each of the star cutouts.
In my sentiment stash I found this printed happy holidays to which I sponged some Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink. To help it stand out from the card a little more I mounted it on some white cardstock.
Putting everything together on the front of my card panel, the card itself became a layering mat which matched my sentiment. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card design for the colour challenge over on the 52CCT blog. Please stop on by and see what the other designers have created with this combination.
Until my next post,
Be Kind to Yourself and Others
