Hi, Friends......
I am here with a Christmas card to share. I was inspired by the theme over at Christmas Cards All Year Round to make a holiday card with HOT colors. Such a fun theme that I had to try it out. I made one using traditional red earlier this month, but I felt like rising to the challenge and really using HOT colors.
The Winnie & Walter Color Challenge this month is Any Palette Goes, so I found this hot, hot, hot one to use:
I have been on a Graphic 45 kick lately, so I teamed up a fun 12 Days of Christmas chippie with some DCWV scraps and a Doodlebug doily for my card. I dressed up the doily like a wreath by adding some rhinestones in warm colors. See that fish-tail banner.....oh, how I wish I had some nesting dies in this nice wide shape, but alas...no. I had to cut it out myself...so don't look too closely!
Supplies used include:
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways die set
Graphic 45 "Twelve Days of Christmas" Chipboard
Doodlebug - Mini Doilies
DCWV scraps
Distress Ink in Rusty Hinge
Rhinestones - various colors of individual ones and the red row from Fiki (THANKS, FIKI!!!)
Ribbon from stash
Core'dinations cardstock in kraft
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are staying safe in all the heat. We have a fire weather warning for tomorrow with a now updated 40% chance of thunderstorms that is keeping us all on pins and needles. Please keep all those affected by severe weather in your prayers!!

I love the bright colours you have used and you did a great job with the banner. Thanks for sharing with CHN patterned paper challenge.
ReplyDeleteBeing on the other side of the world our forecast for the weekend is snow. Do hope is means the people in NSW and Queensland will get some much needed rain. It sounds as if you need some too but not the thunderstorm perhaps.
